Book Description:
Der alte Pfarrer von Solberga, ein reicher Mann, wird eines Nachts mit seiner gesamten Familie und seinem Hof das Opfer einer grausamen Bluttat. Die Mörder bleiben unerkannt, aber es lässt die Toten keine Ruhe finden, dass die schreckliche Tat ungesühnt bleiben sollte. Den schwächsten im Dorfe, einem alten Fischer und einem jungen Waisenmädchen, fällt schließlich die viel zu große Aufgabe zu, das zu tun, was getan werden muss: die Verbrecher ihrer Bestrafung zuzuführen, bevor sie endgültig entkommen können. (Zusammenfassung von Karlsson)
