The Black Path: The Arctic Murders – A gripping and atmospheric murder mystery

by Marlaine Delargy (Translator), Marlaine Delargy (Translator), Åsa Larsson (Author)

Synopsis

The frozen body of a woman is found in a fishing ark on the ice near Tornetrask in northern Sweden. She has been brutally tortured, but the killing blow was clumsy, almost amateur. The body is quickly identified, raising hopes of an open-and-shut solution. But when a six-month-old suicide is disinterred, Rebecka Martinsson and Anna-Maria Mella find themselves investigating shocking corruption at the heart of one of Sweden's most successful mining companies. One that has powerful enemies of its own.
