The Black Path

Description

A body is discovered on a frozen lake in the Arctic Circle, and the investigation that follows pulls Rebecka Martinsson from the stark beauty of the north into a web of international intrigue. As clues surface, the case expands beyond local violence to expose financial wheeler-dealing, corrupt investments tied to Ugandan mines, and the shadowy interests of mercenaries and those who profit from instability. With each revelation, the novel probes how power moves—through money, coercion, and political upheaval—while asking what it costs ordinary people when global forces collide. Åsa Larsson’s sharply observed, fast-moving crime style blends procedural momentum with topical themes of greed, accountability, and the far-reaching consequences of betrayal.
