Description
When nearly an entire family is brutally murdered in a quiet Swedish village, Judge Birgitta Roslin finds herself drawn into an investigation that reaches far beyond the crime scene. Her search uncovers a trail connecting contemporary Sweden to nineteenth-century China, the American West, and the enduring consequences of exploitation and injustice. As political tensions and personal danger escalate, Roslin must confront powerful forces determined to keep the past buried. Blending suspense with historical and social insight, this international thriller explores revenge, inequality, migration, and the long shadows cast by history.
