For the Sins of the Fathers

The prosperous city of Treverberg is shaken by an horrifying piece of news: during the inspection of an old mansion put up for sale, a dreadful installation is discovered. A huge pyre with the charred body of a young woman—and in front of it, kneeling, a man dressed in a priest’s garments. A picture full of grief and raising countless questions. Young police detective Axel Green takes the case and discovers a whole web of paired murders, whose victims are always the same: a young woman and a middle-aged man. Who kills them? How does he choose victims? Why does he do it?

A story about the highest court, double standards, twists in the investigation, and the struggle with oneself in Anna Blake’s debut thriller-detective novel.
