«Deberíamos coronar a Nesbø rey de todos los escritores de novela negra». —Sunday Express
Mineápolis, 2016. Un delincuente habitual, sospechoso de traficar con armas, es víctima de un tiroteo en plena calle. Todas las pistas conducen a Tomas Gomez, un hombre tranquilo de pasado misterioso (y relacionado con una importante banda) que parece haberse esfumado. Además, se van a cometer más asesinatos… Es como si Gomez no pudiera parar de matar. Mientras tanto, Bob Oz, un detective suspendido del servicio y con alguna que otra mancha en su historial, queda fascinado por el caso. Se obsesiona con la idea de dar caza a un asesino en serie al que solo él logra comprender y no se detendrá ante nada, desobedeciendo a sus superiores: busca a un verdugo que quizá cargue con un pasado tan trágico como el suyo.
Mineápolis, 2022. Un hombre enigmático llega desde Europa. Le unen viejos lazos con el estado de Minnesota, un lugar de fuerte tradición migratoria noruega. Se presenta como un autor de true crime, y su visita se debe a que está documentándose sobre el caso Gomez, ya que quiere escribir un libro sobre él. Sin embargo, a medida que la investigación avanza, su posición neutral inicial se irá complicando hasta límites insospechados.

"We should crown Nesbø king of all noir writers." —Sunday Express
Minneapolis, 2016. A habitual criminal, suspected of arms trafficking, is the victim of a street shooting. All clues lead to Tomas Gomez, a quiet man with a mysterious past (and connected to a major gang) who seems to have vanished. Moreover, more murders are about to be committed... It's as if Gomez can't stop killing. Meanwhile, Bob Oz, a suspended detective with a few stains on his record, becomes fascinated by the case. He becomes obsessed with the idea of hunting down a serial killer whom only he can understand and will stop at nothing, disobeying his superiors: he is searching for an executioner who may carry a past as tragic as his own.
Minneapolis, 2022. An enigmatic man arrives from Europe. He has old ties to the state of Minnesota, a place with a strong Norwegian migration tradition. He presents himself as a true crime author, and his visit is due to his documentation on the Gomez case, as he wants to write a book about it. However, as the investigation progresses, his initially neutral position becomes increasingly complicated to unimaginable limits.
