    Set in a grim, vividly rendered Stockholm in the aftermath of political turbulence, this novel follows an unlikely pair of investigators as they chase a series of brutal crimes that expose the city’s corruption, class cruelty and private depravity. As they peel back layers of conspiracy and cover-up, the search for truth forces them into the capital’s rotting institutions and opulent salons alike, where power protects monsters and justice is a tenuous, dangerous idea. The book blends forensic detail, courtroom and police procedure, and a relentlessly dark atmosphere to explore how violence and social decay intertwine in a society on the brink.
