      In een bankloket in Oslo krijgt de chef 25 seconden om de kluis te legen. Hij faalt en de overvaller schiet een vrouwelijke medewerker. Ondanks dat alles op video staat, staat de Oslo-politie machteloos tegenover de brute moord. Tegelijkertijd wordt Harry Hole naar een andere plaats delict geroepen, die de woning van zijn ex-vriendin blijkt te zijn. Nu is zij dood, en Harry's aartsvijand Tom Waaler aarzelt niet om te profiteren van het feit dat Harry de laatste was die de jonge vrouw in leven zag. Oslo wordt opgeschrikt door meer bankovervallen en Harry's wanhopige zoektocht naar de waarheid leidt hem naar een dorp in Brazilië en terug naar zijn eigen duistere verleden.
