The third Siklax novel goes back to a made-up village in southern Ostrobothnia, where the world war and then the Cold War shape three lives. Erik is driven out of Finland by politics, joins the American army as a regular and ends up working for the CIA. Margareta, whose father smuggled liquor, comes to run the bus line founded by her husband's father, and Charles Holm returns from supposed death and becomes a famous painter. The village's dead vouch that it is all nearly true, and lend the narrator a hand in finishing the tale.
