In the far north of Sweden the frozen body of a woman was found in a fishing hut out on the lake. She’d been tortured but the injury which killed her was clumsy, even amateur. Identification isn’t wasn’t easy but it’s it was faily quick and Anna-Maria Mella and her colleagues hoped for a speedy end to the case. Then it all turned complicated when the body of a six-month-old suicide had to be exhumed and Mella and Rebecka Martinsson were drawn further and further into the an investigation of corruption at one the country’s major mining companies. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the mining company had enemies of its own - ones who would stop at nothing.
The murder victim - Inna Wattrang - was ''very'' senior at Kallis Mining. There was Mauri Kallis, Inna and her brother Diddi, but Diddi was a bit of a flake and that was before his sister was murdered. There were the drugs and the debts, the family he didn't seem to be involved with. Diddi was a liability and with the loss of Inna Mauri Kallis was very exposed. He wasn't inclined to give the police a lot of help, but Mella was lucky. She had Rebecka Martinsson on her side. Martinsson had recovered from the horrific injuries which she suffered in the [[Until Thy Wrath Be Past: A Rebecka Martinsson Investigation by Asa Larsson and Laurie Thompson (Translator)|last book]] and had not long been been released from the psychiatric unit.
The names which stand out in Scandinavian crime are [[:Category:Henning Mankell|Henning Mankell]] and [[The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and Reg Keeland (translator)|the other Larsson]] but don’t miss out on [[:Category:Karin Fossum|Karin Fossum]].
