Eli introduces herself but she's a little strange - she smells bad, doesn't feel the cold at all, even in November, and from time to time her hair has a lot of grey.Soon after Eli's move to Blackeberg a child's body is found hanging from a tree. A victim of bullying, Oskar doesn't have many school friends, but is interested in the strange new neighbour next door. It's the early eighties and he likes listening to Kiss on his Walkman, solving puzzles - including the Rubik's cube - and pasting grisly murder stories from the newspaper into his scrapbook.


Oskar lives with his mum in a high rise building in the western suburbs of Stockholm.
