「文明」的人類有能力犯下哪些恐怖罪行?

很久很久以前,有個小女孩,
父親在她心裡建了房間,裡面只有痛苦磨難。
經過了好幾年,這房間有用悲傷砌成的堅固牆面、
復仇渴望鋪設的地板,與最終以仇恨搭蓋的厚實天花板。

四具男童屍體陸續在斯德哥爾摩被發現,死者身上都有遭到虐待的跡象,有的甚至已經過防腐處理,製成木乃伊。女刑警荷內特負責調查這幾宗離奇的命案,諸多事證讓她懷疑這是戀童癖慣犯所為,並審問最可疑的嫌犯卡爾。

卡爾供出「幻影之家」容許戀童癖行為等訊息後,卻在戒護就醫時自殺未遂,無法繼續接受偵訊。荷內特轉而聯繫曾診療卡爾的心理治療師蘇菲亞,請她提供更多線索。從此荷內特與蘇菲亞展開合作,偵查兒童色情犯罪。

蘇菲亞的病患中,不少人是童年時期遭受性侵與虐待的被害者。其中「烏鴉女孩」維多莉亞是蘇菲亞投注最多心力的案例。「毆打、愛撫、保護、傷害」,是維多莉亞與父親的相處模式。每當父親動手傷害她時,烏鴉就會進駐她的腦袋:黑色翅膀在她眼前拍動,接著,烏鴉會伸出腳爪奮力抓住父親的頭髮……

維多莉亞為了保護自己,內心發展出多少種人格?她的父親為何能一直逍遙法外?如何揪出「幻影之家」的成員?荷內特與蘇非亞越來越接近腐爛核心,要揭開幾十年來凌虐兒童、操縱司法的邪惡集團時,警界與司法界的掌權人士為何極力阻止她們調查?
