Learn moreFrom the author of Sun Storm comes this disturbing, entrancing, beautifully crafted mystery, winner of Sweden’s Best Crime Novel award and an international sensation.
It’s midsummer in Sweden, when the light lingers through dawn as the long winter finally ends. In this magical time, a brutal killer strikes, and the murder of a female priest sends shock waves through the community.
With no cause to get involved, attorney Rebecka Martinsson cannot help herself. And the further she is drawn into a mystery that will soon claim another victim, the more the dead woman’s world consumes her, a world of hurt and healing, sin and sexuality, and above all, of lethal sacrifice.
Åsa Larsson was born in Kiruna, Sweden, in 1966 and studied in Uppsala. A former tax lawyer, she now writes full time, preferring rural life with her husband, two children, and several chickens. Her book, Sun Storm, was the winner of Sweden’s Best First Crime Novel Award.

Reviews
“Fans of Henning Mankell, Karin Fossum and Arnaldur Indridason will be rewarded.”
“The plot is as dark as a winter solstice. Larsson’s genius is her ability to enter the deranged criminal mind…The bleakness of the Swedish psyche is laid bare, and it is not a pretty thing.”
“Larsson…delivers plenty of suspense, but her real gift lies in her ability to climb inside the minds of her characters, analyzing their motivations for doing damage and good.”
“A virtuoso mood piece that works endless changes on its unforgiving landscape.”
