    Just when things have finally cooled down for eighty-eight-year-old Maud after the disturbing discovery of a dead body in her apartment in Gothenburg, a couple of detectives return to her doorstep.

The truth is, ever since Maud was a girl, death has seemed to follow her. 
     
     
     
    In these six interlocking stories, memories of unfortunate incidents from Maud's past keep bubbling to the surface. Meanwhile, certain problems in the present require immediate attention.
