It’s summer in Stockholm where international youth gather to plan peace, while opponents in their midst threaten them with disruptions and with murder. Ghada Shafi from Palestine, Binyamin Dayan from Israel, and Mariela Fuentes, a child of the violence that wracked Nicaragua, have assumed leadership roles at the Youth for Peace meetings. Negotiations that cross language barriers and cultural differences are difficult enough; but when a participant from Syria dies mysteriously, the meeting is engulfed in distrust and fear. Magnus Torval, a Swedish detective who is also a famous international power lifter, investigates the mysterious death and other events that threaten the YFP participants. He must work closely with Mariela, as the two of them confront not only difficult developments in the volatile Swedish immigrant community, but also their own past disappointments and mutual attraction. With each passing day, Mariela, Magnus, Ghada and Binyamin see the stakes of failure get larger. They are running out of time to find out who is behind the rapidly growing danger.
