WINNER OF SWEDEN'S BEST FIRST CRIME NOVEL AWARD - In the land of
silence and snow, the killing has begun . . .
Rebecka Martinsson is heading home to Kiruna, the town she'd left in
disgrace years before. A Stockholm attorney, Rebecka has a good reason
to return: her friend Sanna, whose brother has been horrifically
murdered in the revivalist church his charisma helped create. Beautiful
and fragile, Sanna needs someone like Rebecka to remove the shadow of
guilt that is engulfing her, to forestall an ambitious prosecutor and a
dogged policewoman. But to help her friend, and to find the real killer
of a man she once adored and is now not sure she ever knew, Rebecka must
relive the darkness she left behind in Kiruna, delve into a sordid
conspiracy of deceit, and confront a killer whose motives are dark,
wrenching, and impossible to guess. . . .
