Detective Maria Kallio investigates a doping scandal turned murder in
award-winning author Leena Lehtolainen's pulse-pounding thriller.
After surviving a terrifying assault during her last investigation,
Maria Kallio traded in her badge for a comfortable desk job. But when
the head of social affairs for the Finnish Athletics Federation is
murdered--the victim of an apparent poisoning--Maria is drawn back into
a race against more than murder. A series of crimes has unfolded, and to
Maria's trained eyes, they look like the makings of a conspiracy.
As Maria follows the track to a doping scandal, a money-laundering
scheme, domestic abuse, and explosive death threats leveled against a
sports reporter, she collects the pieces of a baffling puzzle. Now, to
run down the killer and save the next victim, all she has to do is make
them fit.
So far only one thing is for certain: Maria Kallio is rediscovering the
thrill of the chase.
