After losing his pregnant wife in a terrorist attack, English artist David Tempest moves to an old cottage in the middle of the Swedish countryside. Days later, two of his neighbours die in a mysterious fire, deliberately started. There are no clues to the identity of the arsonist, and the small community is deeply concerned this might be the first of many such attacks, and the act of a serial killer. As David tries to settle into his home, he meets a troubled teenager who needs a job. He employs him to help around the garden, and ends up getting far more involved in the boy's life than he expected. As he struggles to get over the loss of his wife and unborn son, the two form a close bond and he helps the boy come to terms with many difficult issues in his life. As the police investigate the murders, there is another fire. Then another. It seems this is going to be a long, hot, dangerous summer in the Swedish countryside... 'A little Swedish murder' is the author of the Gemini and Flowers Mysteries' first murder mystery set in Sweden.
