A brilliant legal thriller!
The case of Sara Tell, a twenty-six-year-old serial killer, shook all of Sweden. After all, she confessed to five murders, even though she was originally suspected in two. And in those two cases there was so little evidence that she could easily have avoided punishment—if she hadn’t, on her own initiative, presented the evidence to the police. A day before the trial began, she managed to escape and commit suicide. Her child also vanished without a trace. The police suspect she killed the child and hid the body. The case is closed. But… a man comes to Stockholm lawyer Martin Benner. He claims to be Sara Tell’s brother and says he has irrefutable proof of her innocence. Benner agrees to look into the case—and finds himself at the very heart of a web from which it is virtually impossible to get out alive.
