Descripción editorial
A violent robbery has taken place in an affluent area of the Costa Del Sol, in which an entire family are killed – grandmother, mother, father and two children.
Annika Bengtzon is assigned to the story, and when she arrives in Spain and gains access to the crime scene, she is horrified to discover there was a third child – a teenage daughter – who is unaccounted for.
Annika makes it her mission to find the missing Suzette. But as she delves into the mystery, she becomes embroiled in a far darker side of Spanish life than she’d envisioned as once again those closest to her turn out to be the ones she knows the least about…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Marklund's busy eighth Annika Bengtzon novel finds the dogged Stockholm crime reporter still struggling with the personal and professional aftershocks of her deadly previous case in 2013's Lifetime. Her latest assignment for her newspaper is hardly a sunny one: writing about the slaughter of former hockey star Sebastian S derstr m and his family during the robbery of their Spanish villa. If that weren't grim enough stuff for Annika to handle while trying to adapt to sharing custody of her two children with her ex (and his dim girlfriend), as well as having to suffer an equally clueless new editor, she's soon uncovering money laundering, drug trafficking, and glimpses of a history of horrific abuse and murder stretching back decades. Despite the often confusing subplots, this installment in the Bengtzon chronicles offers plenty of suspense.
