Главный герой книги, двенадцатилетний Оскар, - застенчивый мальчик, привыкший к одиночеству. В школе над ним издеваются, и, ненавидя своих мучителей, он придумывает себе развлечение - уединяется в лесу, прихватив с собой нож, и вымещает злость на деревьях и трухлявых пнях, представляя, что это его преследователи. Но однажды его одноклассника находят в лесу с перерезанным горлом, и обстоятельства преступления крайне подозрительны - все уверены в том, что речь идет о ритуальном убийстве. Незадолго до этого у Оскара появляются новые соседи - папа с дочкой, поселившиеся в соседнем подъезде. И хотя поначалу девочка вовсе не расположена к общению, вскоре Оскар и Эли становятся лучшими друзьями. И все же есть в ней что-то странное - слишком легко она переносит холод, слишком хорошо прыгает и главное - выходит во двор лишь с наступлением ночи. Не менее подозрительны и отношения Эли с отцом - да и отец ли он ей? Кто она и какое отношение имеет к череде ритуальных убийств, всколыхнувших весь город. Со временем Оскар получает ответы на все эти вопросы, хотя, пожалуй, предпочел бы остаться в неведении.
