‘A breath of fresh cold air . . . a dangerous edge to gladden fans of Lisbeth Salander’ Boyd Tonkin
From the million-book bestselling author comes another nail-biting thriller, for fans of Stieg Larsson, The Bridge and The Killing TV series.
The murder of a female priest sends shockwaves through the isolated community of Kiruna. A crime that has terrifying echoes of another.
Lawyer Rebecka Martinsson returns to Kiruna to help the police, and is soon drawn into the dead woman’s world. A world of hurt and healing, sin and sexuality, and above all, of lethal sacrifice.
Can Rebecka find the truth before she is consumed by it?
