Description
In Lindö, on the Swedish coast, a man has been found brutally murdered in his own home.
The victim, Hans Juhlén, had no shortage of enemies. But the case stalls when a child’s handprint is found inches from where the dead man fell.
Hans Juhlén had no children.
Public prosecutor Jana Berzelius has perfected the art of maintaining a professional distance from her cases. But when the body of a small boy is found – and with him, the weapon that killed Juhlén – Jana’s impenetrability is tested to its limits.
The small body is a bleak reminder that Jana has her own secrets to hide. And if she is to keep them safe, she must find the perpetrator behind these crimes…before the police do.

When a high ranking public official is murdered in his own home, prosecutor Jana Berzelius is called in to investigate. There are plenty of suspects to choose from, including the victim’s wife, but a strange clue, a child’s handprint at the scene, in a home where there are no children is baffling. Pieces of the puzzle start to fall into place when a preteen age boy is found dead, the weapon that killed him close by; the same weapon that killed the first victim. At the boy’s autopsy, Jana sees numbers carved into the boy’s skin and has a memory of something from her own dark past. Not all child trafficking involves the sex trade. Schepp, a Swedish writer, first self published this work, but now, it’s been picked up by a mainstream published and it’s not hard to see why. A dark, complex and twisted thriller, this is the first in a trilogy and comparisons to Steig Larsson will be inevitable

I thought this book was fantastic with all the play on the killing of Hans Juhlin, and who killed him. It then goes off and changes players, but you don;t quite know how it's playing. The police and the prosecutor try to solve the mystery. A well thought out book with a clincher of an ending which promises more of the same.

Great story! Looking forward to reading more by this author! Highly recommend!

This was a highly energetic, fast paced read for me. Anyone who loves/ is a fan of swedish crime thrillers should definitely try this one out.
I loved the main character Jane Berzelius, the public prosecutor. She is bad-ass female lead.
I was excited to find out this is the first installment of more books with Jane to come!
Scandanavian mystery thrillers are one of my new favourite genres!
I can't wait for the next book in the series!!!
