"Like millions of women, Eve Ensler has been waiting much of her lifetime for an apology. Sexually and physically abused by her father, Eve has struggled her whole life from this betrayal, longing for an honest reckoning from a man who is long dead. After years of work as an anti-violence activist, she decided she would wait no longer; an apology could be imagined, by her, for her, to her. The Apology, written by Eve from her father's point of view in the words she longed to hear, attempts to transform the abuse she suffered with unflinching truthfulness, compassion, and an expansive vision for the future. Through The Apology Eve has set out to provide a new way for herself and a possible road for others, so that survivors of abuse may finally envision how to be free. She grapples with questions she has sought answers to since she first realized the impact of her father's abuse on her life: How do we offer a doorway rather than a locked cell? How do we move from humiliation to revelation, from curtailing behavior to changing it, from condemning perpetrators to calling them to reckoning? What will it take for abusers to genuinely apologize? Remarkable and original, The Apology is an acutely transformational look at how, from the wounds of sexual abuse, we can begin to re-emerge and heal. It is revolutionary, asking everything of each of us: courage, honesty, and forgiveness."--Jacket

Patrik Hedström a jeho kolegovia na tanumhedskej policajnej stanici vyšetrujú nový prípad. Do Fjällbacky sa vrátilo zlo. Zo statku za mestečkom zmizla štvorročná Linnea a obyvatelia Fjällbacky si spomenuli na starú tragédiu. Z toho istého miesta pred tridsiatimi rokmi zmizlo dievčatko, ktoré neskôr našli mŕtve. Zo zločinu vtedy obvinili dve trinásťročné dievčatá, tie sa však pre svoj nízky vek vyhli väzeniu. Je to naozaj náhoda, že Linnea sa stratila v čase, keď sa jedno z obvinených dievčat, v súčasnosti už svetoznáma herečka Marie Wallová, vrátilo do Fjällbacky? Vyšetrovanie rozjatruje mnoho starých rán, začína sa lov na páchateľa a strach obyvateľov pred neznámym má fatálne následky.
