When a woman is stabbed to death while jogging in Malmoe's main park, the Criminal Investigation Squad need to discover who she is before the case can properly get under way. Soon they realise the victim had flown in from Switzerland, and with links to important people in the city, she wasn't everything she seemed. Meanwhile, enjoying the hot summer away from Malmoe, Anita Sundstroem is on her annual leave and is showing Kevin Ash the sights of Skane. Their holiday is interrupted by the apparent suicide of a respected, retired diplomat. After a further death, Anita finds herself unofficially investigating a case that has its roots in the 1917 chance meeting of a Malmoe waiter with the world's most famous revolutionary. All she knows is that the answers lie in Berlin. Two investigations that begin and end at Midnight in Malmoe - the fourth Inspector Anita Sundstroem mystery.
