  The Sunday Man (Söndagsmannen)  
 
Thomas Kanger
Police sergeant Elina Wiik has 30 days to solve a cold case before the Swedish statute of limitations runs out after she discovers that a young woman killed in the northern Swedish fjeld 24 years and 11 months ago had a baby just before she died. The woman’s child, like her killer, was never found. At the same time, 25-year-old Kari Solbakken starts her journey north, accompanied by her neighbor, a young man in trouble with the law. An adopted child whose adopted parents have passed away, and with no other relatives to turn to, Kari wants to find the truth about her biological parents and why they abandoned her. Unbeknownst to one another, both Kari and Elina are searching for the same man. As the clock ticks, their paths will cross and the killer lurks dangerously nearby.
