Publisher Description
Praised for writing “vividly and harshly” (The Washington Times) with prose that’s “complex and heartfelt” (Kirkus Reviews), internationally acclaimed author Mons Kallentoft returns with the fourth chilling novel featuring crime investigator Malin Fors.
Spring has finally arrived, filling the Swedish countryside with sunshine and flowers after a long, dark winter. The beautiful weather is lost on Detective Investigator Malin Fors, though, troubled as she is by the unexpected death of her emotionally distant mother and what it might mean for her own fragmented and dysfunctional family. But when an explosion rocks the town square, killing two young girls, leaving their mother fighting for life, and terrifying the entire community, Malin has no time to address her family’s uncertain future. Suddenly the future of her entire city is in danger, and she may be the only one who can save it…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the first chapter of Kallentoft's absorbing fourth thriller featuring Insp. Malin Fors (after 2012's Autumn Killing), a bomb that explodes in front of a Link ping, Sweden, bank kills two six-year-old twin girls and seriously injures their mother, Hannah Viger . A group called the Economic Liberation Front claims responsibility for the attack, purportedly to draw attention to the evils committed by banks. As the investigation expands, Malin and her police team must consider whether the bomb was instead targeted to kill specific individuals perhaps the head of a local biker group, the Viger family, or someone else entirely. Meanwhile, Malin, who has just buried her mother, is struggling to maintain her sobriety, which she earned at a rehab center she was forced to attend after being caught driving under the influence. The dramatic conclusion will leave the reader eager for the next installment.
