The Gallows Bird

[1] Patrik (police officer) and Erica (writer) have reconnected, had a child and are moving headlong into matrimony.

[2] Problems sidelined when a chaotic alcohol-fueled party ends with the death of an unpopular contestant on a reality TV show.

[3] A local woman is found dead, apparently the victim of a car crash: the first in a spate of seemingly inexplicable accidents in Tanumshede.

[6] As TV cameras shadow the reality show stars' every move, relations with the locals are strained to the breaking point.

[7] Patrick also has his own set of problems to contend with: a wedding to arrange, and Erica's sister Anna living with them—he's experiencing stress.
