La noche más oscura

A few days before Christmas, the entire Hermansson family comes together to celebrate 65 years of Karl-Erik, a commendable father and retired teacher, and 40 of Ebba, his favorite daughter. A few hours later, two inexplicable disappearances occur: first, Robert, the black sheep of the family; the next day Henrik, Ebba's eldest son, who disappears in the middle of the night without a trace. Gunnar Barbarotti, an Italian-Swedish-born inspector working for the Kymlinge police force, who was bracing himself for the hateful prospect of a Christmas with his ex-wife and his ex-in-laws, will take over the case. The investigations, however, do not appear to be progressing. Is there a connection between the two cases? Obsessed with finding the truth, it will take time, perseverance and the help of destiny for the investigations to take a precise direction and find the culprit before the case is buried by oblivion.
