Carmen Montes Cano Book order (chronological)

La desaparición de la pequeña Linnea en las afueras de Fjällbacka despierta trágicos recuerdos. Treinta años antes se perdió el rastro de otra niña, Stella, en la misma granja, y al poco fue hallada sin vida. Entonces dos chicas adolescentes se confesaron culpables del asesinato. Los habitantes de Fjällbacka se organizan para buscar a Linnea y se preguntan con temor si otras niñas pueden estar en peligro. Mientras tanto, Patrick y su equipo investigan la conexión entre ambos casos. Además, una leyenda del siglo XVII sobre una madre que, acosada por los prejuicios y la superstición, trata de sobrevivir junto a su hija, parece tener una extraña relación con estas muertes.

'A sexy, sensational novel with intoxicating vengeance and an unexpected tenderness' No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author Karin Slaughter

Detective Patrik Hedström is no stranger to tragedy. A murder case concerning Fjällbacka’s dead financial director, Mats Sverin, is a grim but useful distraction from his recent family misfortunes. It seems Sverin was a man who everybody liked yet nobody really knew—a man with something to hide . . . His high school sweetheart, Nathalie, has just returned to Fjällbacka with her five-year-old son—perhaps can she shed some light on who Sverin really was? However, Nathalie has her own secret. If it’s discovered, she will lose her only child. As the investigation stalls, the police have many questions. But there is only one that matters: Is there anything a mother would not do to protect her child?

The discovery of two murder victims who were killed twenty years earlier is complicated by the body of a third, recent victim at the same location, a case that compels detective Patrik Hedstrom to investigate a feuding clan of misfits, religious fanatics, and criminals.
