Año 2000. En Oslo aparece en plena calle el cadáver degollado de un viejo militante nazi. Harry Hole, que tras cometer un grave error ha sido reasignado a los servicios secretos, percibe los puntos en común entre este crimen y el contenido de un informe de los muchos documentos aburridos que pasan por sus manos a diario: alguien compró un rifle Märklin, un arma extremadamente cara y precisa usada por grupos neonazis. Harry Hole tratará de averiguar cuál es la relación entre estos dos casos y se percatará de que el origen de todo puede remontarse mucho tiempo atrás, a lo sucedido entre un grupo de soldados noruegos durante el sitio de Leningrado en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Then Manfred Schwartz, an ex-lover, urges Petra to draw back the curtain on Emil's war record, and they enter a world both complicated and threatening.Told by Manfred Schwartz, from his place in a present world even more beset by existential threats, Petra is an exploration of love, jealousy, and the power of social change.

At the time of his retirement as a senior master sergeant in 2013, Tom Young had logged nearly five thousand hours as a flight engineer for the Air National Guard in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia, and elsewhere.
