Translated from the Swedish, Kung liljekonvalje av dungen. On the eve of what would have been the wedding of the year, Anneli Hammar, the beautiful and happy bride, vanished. One moment she was waving to a the next she was gone, as if the earth had swallowed her up. Had she disappeared of her own free will? alone, or with an unknown lover? Was she, indeed, dead or alive? A nightmare of suspicions followed the mocking shadow of the girl with questions that had no answers—and in the center of a tangled web of lies stood the mysterious and wealthy man who was to have been her husband.
