Jussi Vares stumbles upon two female bodies on the outskirts of Turku, both shot in the head, alongside a man whose body is covered in rune-like cuts, hinting at a sinister ritualistic killing. A year later, Vares is tasked with delving into these murders. His investigation leads him into the shadowy depths of Turku’s criminal underworld, ruled by an elusive figure known only as the Sheriff—a man shrouded in mystery and silence. As Vares gets dangerously close to the “jury,” a clandestine group where human life is of little value, he finds himself perilously near uncovering the truth.
