1793 by Niklas Natt och Dag
In late-18th-century Stockholm, an aristocratic lawyer and a hardened ex-soldier team up to investigate the mutilated corpse of a young woman, uncovering a brutal crime that peels back the city’s veneer to reveal squalor, corruption, and violent secrets. Their inquiry drags them through fetid streets, decrepit workhouses, and the halls of power, exposing moral decay among both the poor and the elite. Dark, atmospheric, and unflinching, the novel mixes forensic detail, gothic horror, and social critique to depict a society on the brink.
