Description
'Death and detection . . . the perfect mix.' The Times
'An excellent page turner . . . the best so far.' 5* reader review
'Nordic noir at its best.' People
As the spring warmth melts the ice, divers search the wreckage at the bottom of the Angermanland River - but the murdered man they recover was put there much more recently than the historic artefacts they were seeking.
Local Detective Eira Sjoedin, newly pregnant and not talking about it, is proud to be put in charge of the investigation - until she discovers the man's identity, and the evidence begins to point towards her own family. As Eira works to piece together the truth from the long-buried evidence and her mother's fragmented memories, she isn't sure she is prepared for the revelations this truth might unleash.
