Leaving the Helsinki police force to put her new law degree to use, Maria Kallio is ready for a fresh start. But when she discovers a strangled body, old habits die hard for the redheaded sleuth-especially since the accused is related to her new boyfriend.
The police rush to close the case against the victim's fiance, but Maria is convinced they've got the wrong man and soon finds herself unofficially investigating the murder, now labeled a sex crime. To crack the case, Kallio will have to pull back the curtain on the secret dealings of Finnish high society...and uncover a secret someone is willing to kill to keep hidden.
Her Enemy, the second book in Lehtolainen's international bestselling Nordic crime series, sends intrepid Detective Kallio to the dark side of human passion.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Leena Lehtolainen is Finland's bestselling female crime author, first reaching international acclaim for her hit detective series starring Maria Kallio. In the mere twenty years since she began the series with My First Murder (1993), Lehtolainen has become a classic of Nordic crime literature-Lehtolainen has been called "Finland's answer to Henning Mankel" (Brigitte), while her Maria Kallio series has been ascribed "cult status" (Bunte).
Lehtolainen twice won the annual prize for best Finnish crime novel, and has also been nominated for the prestigious Glass Key award for the best Nordic crime novel. Readers around the world continue to discover Lehtolainen's detective novels-to date, over two million copies of her titles have been sold in numerous languages including German, French, Italian, Russian, Czech, Dutch, Hebrew, and Chinese, and the Kallio series has been adapted for television.
