Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

In this thriller, after Peter unintentionally foils a rapist while jogging in Stockholm so that the man is sent to prison, he writes a book about his experience, but then thinks no more about it. The rapist, on the other hand, is consumed by a desire for revenge. When Peter travels to a remote northern house in the winter to finish another of his books, the criminal follows and rapes Peter's wife at gunpoint while he looks on helplessly, and then escapes. When Peter and his devastated family return to Stockholm, the rapist is there too, and it becomes more than he can do to stop him from striking again. Eventually, his aggrieved wife manages to put an end to the situation.
