A breath of fresh cold air... a dangerous edge to gladden fans of Lisbeth Salander. From a bestselling author comes another nail-biting thriller for fans of Stieg Larsson and Scandinavian noir. The murder of a female priest sends shockwaves through the isolated community of Kiruna, echoing a previous crime. Lawyer Rebecka Martinsson returns to assist the police and is drawn into the dead woman's world—a realm of hurt and healing, sin and sexuality, and lethal sacrifice. Can Rebecka uncover the truth before it consumes her? Asa Larsson, with over a million and a half books sold worldwide, offers a gripping follow-up to her award-winning debut, The Savage Altar. This atmospheric and fast-paced thriller features Rebecka Martinsson, a character reminiscent of Clarice Starling from The Silence of the Lambs. Set during Sweden's midsummer, when the long winter fades, a brutal killer strikes, reigniting memories of a similar murder spree nearly two years prior. Rebecka finds herself entangled in a mystery that threatens another life, as the community grapples with the victim's complex legacy. Larsson's unflinching exploration of the human heart adds chilling depth to this suspense-filled narrative, showcasing her talent in crafting labyrinthine conspiracies and superlative storytelling.
