Plot introduction

The novel also follows Anders' stepfather on the island, the illusionist Simon, who is starting to notice that there is something strange with the island and the sea itself.
Author's device
John Ajvide Lindqvist has said that the one concept he wanted to use in his novel from the start was that of using two ghosts driving around on a moped and speaking in The Smiths quotes.
