Le jour même où la mariée indienne doit arriver, le corps mutilé d'une jeune femme est retrouvé dans un champ près de la maison de Gunder. Qui peut croire que, parmi les bonnes gens d'Elvestad, il se trouve quelqu'un capable d'un crime aussi abominable ? Personne, sauf l'inspecteur Konrad Sejer, toujours aussi calme et déterminé, qui sait bien que les braves gens sont capables du pire et que nul n'est totalement innocent.
