**Inspired by Sherlock Holmes, an exhilarating new thriller from the
best-selling author of The Girl in the Spider's Web--a murder
investigation in which two unlikely allies race to uncover a shadowy
international conspiracy.
Professor Hans Rekke is a world authority on interrogation techniques,
capable of dizzying feats of logic and observation. He was born into
wealth and power and has a picture-perfect wife and daughter. But he
also has a fragile psyche that falls apart under pressure.
Micaela Vargas is a street-smart police officer, daughter of Chilean
political refugees, who grew up in the projects on the outskirts of
Stockholm and has two brothers on the wrong side of the law. She is
tenacious and uncompromising, and desperate to prove herself to her
fellow cops.
Micaela needs Hans's unique mind to help her solve the case of a
murdered asylum-seeker from Afghanistan. Hans needs Micaela to save him
from himself. Together, they need to find the killer before they're both
silenced for good.
