In November, Oslo. It's snowing, the first snow of the year. When Jonas, a youngster, wakes up in the middle of the night, his mother is gone. He notices the snowman that had mysteriously risen in the yard earlier in the day as he looks out his window into the chilly moonlight. There's his mother's pink scarf over its neck. In addition to Jonas's mother, maybe a dozen other women vanished on the day of the first snowstorm, and Hole believes there may be a connection between the ominous letter he got and their disappearances. As his research progresses, another revelation comes to light: he is turning into a piece in a horrifying game whose rules are created by the murderer and are always changing.
