Torgny Bäckman har ledsnat rejält på alla de som inte följer spelets regler. De som uppför sig illa och lurar folk. Idioter på Facebook, bilmekaniker som inte levererar, uppblåsta affärsmän, listan kan göras lång. Torgny ser det som sin uppgift att ta tag i problemet, och det gör han på sitt alldeles eget sätt i ladan i Stenhamra. Det har återigen blivit dags för Jerker Gudmundsson och hanskollegor på NOA att lösa en rad spektakulära mord och den här gången har de svårt att se ett direkt samband mellan mordoffrena - utöver det uppenbara.

A madcap new novel from the one-of-a-kind author of The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden. It's never too late to start again. And again. It's always awkward when five thousand kronor goes missing.

Because really this story is all about the seventh South African missile - the one that was never supposed to have existed. The one that Nombeko knows far too much about.
