With a spin on traditional Nordic noir and Scanoir genres, this murder mystery thriller follows female protagonist and disgraced NYC cop Veronika Brand as she escapes her homegrown problems only to find herself in unfamiliar territory in the home of her ancestors, Sweden.The hallmarks of Swedish suspense fiction made popular by Henning Mankell, Camilla L ckberg, and Stieg Larsson are cleverly combined with new crime fiction that explores social, cultural, and economic power, both from historical and modern perspectives. Instead of long languid summers basking in the midnight sun, she unearths secrets long since buried in the frozen ground.In Krister Hammar, a local Sami land rights lawyer, she thinks she has found a kindred spirit.
