Thriller
When a high-ranking head of the migration board is found
shot to death in his living room, there is no shortage of
suspects, including his wife. But no one expects to find
mysterious, child-size fingerprints in this childless home. Public prosecutor Jana Berzelius steps in to lead the
investigation. Young and brilliant but emotionally cold,
Berzelius, like her famous prosecutor father, won't be
swayed by the hysterical widow or intimidated by the
threatening letters the victim had tried to hide. She is
steely, aloof, impenetrable. That is, until the boy… A few days later on a nearby deserted shoreline, the body of
a derelict preteen is discovered, and with him, the murder
weapon that killed the official. Berzelius finds herself
drawn more deeply into the case when, as she attends the
boy's autopsy, she recognizes something familiar on his
small, scarred, drug-riddled body. Cut deep into his flesh
are initials that scream child trafficking and trigger in
her a flash of memory from her own dark childhood. Her
connection to this boy has been carved with deliberation and
malice that penetrate to her very core. Now, to protect her own horrific but hidden past, she must
find the real suspect behind these murders before the police
do. International bestselling author Emelie Schepp introduces
us to the enigmatic, unforgettable Jana Berzelius in this
first novel of a suspenseful, chilling trilogy.
