In Tingstäde, a Viking-era assembly site on Gotland, a group of people has gathered to await the end of the world. Since the mid-1700s, the knowledge of the final days has been passed down in the Runö family. An astronomical clock from the time of Christoffer Polhem and a handwritten letter are the family heirlooms that have been carried forward to our time. Ulrika Bodin works at the university. She is preparing a lecture on Christoffer Polhem. While conducting research in Tingstäde, she meets a mysterious man and falls passionately in love with him-a passion that drives her to betray the life choices she once made. The weather that summer seems completely out of joint. Storms reach hurricane strength, and all boat traffic is canceled. Maria Wern's husband is stranded on the mainland. She would have needed his support and help with the children when she is appointed to lead the investigation of a brutal murder of a woman. Prisoners of Fear is Anna Jansson's new crime novel in the successful series about Maria Wern
