A Salvation Army officer is shot at a packed Christmas market, apparently by a professional hit man. Harry's hunt for the shooter leads through the Army's inner politics, Croatian war scars and a tangled story of guilt, faith and revenge.

After the first snowfall, a married woman disappears and a snowman appears outside her house wearing her scarf. Harry links the case to a string of missing mothers and realises Norway may have its first serial killer.
