English Summary/英文概要： A story about people’s need to preserve their loved ones, both dead and alive, but also the need to conceal their wrongdoing from the eyes of others.
On a mild May day, as Finland is celebrating its victory in the Ice Hockey World Championships, a violent crime takes place in the depths of a concrete suburb. The murderer turns out to be Olavi Finne, a lonely old man who can’t explain what happened. He’s locked up in a mental institution.
Over ten years later, thirty-year old Mikael is assigned to be Finne’s designated nurse. Mikael’s life is in crisis: his spouse is seriously ill, and Mikael is suffering from the trauma resulting from a violent episode at work. Death and a continual state of fear hang over his life as very tangible threats.
Being assigned to the seemingly harmless Olavi was supposed to have made Mikael’s life easier. But the men’s caregiver-patient bond rapidly begins to grow tighter, as Mikael grows interested in the curious stories related by his odd patient.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《裹尸布》是一部扣人心弦的小说，讲述了人类心智的力量和在一个精神病院残酷生活的真实写照别无他样。
30岁的Mikael在一所精神病院被分配给院内一个年长患者的指定护士。这个病人犯下了一桩令人费解的凶案，自那以后这个患者就隐退至一个奇特的与埃及对抗的世界中，他通过怪诞神秘的催眠布道，傲慢地传播着他的死亡信条。Mikaela试图想要了解他的这个病患，但鉴于自己的生活状况也非常不稳定。他的同事也爱莫能助：黑暗的愤世嫉俗主义主宰着这个医院的日常生活。读者将逐渐发现关于这个患者的信息，通过一系列的倒叙，这个老人在战事的经历一一展开，这为他的疾病发作提供了一种解释的可能性。然而，笔者Hautala用微妙儿哟娴熟的笔触为我们呈上了一盘早已精心预备好的佳肴。(Sandy)
