Twenty-three-year-old Camilla Loen has been found dead in her Oslo apartment, her finger severed, a red diamond star under her eyelid. Days later, the severed finger of a second missing woman, the well-known stage actress Lisbeth Barli, arrives in a parcel at the police department adorned with a five-pointed red diamond ring. Then, another victim, a twenty-eight-year-old woman, is found dead in her office bathroom. Hidden in her earring, detectives find a red diamond in the shape of a five-pointed star. She too has had a finger severed.
