International bestselling author Emelie Schepp introduces us to

the enigmatic, unforgettable Jana Berzelius in this first novel of
a chilling trilogy.
Public prosecutor Jana Berzelius steps

in to lead the investigation. Young

Berzelius, like her famous prosecutor

hysterical widow or intimidated by
the threatening letters the victim
had tried to hide. Jana is steely, aloof,
impenetrable. That is, until the boy
Bestselling Swedish author Emelie

Schepp experienced breakout success
with her debut novel, MARKED FOR

the brilliant, aloof and enigmatic
prosecutor Jana Berzeliusa
protagonist with her own dark past
in a gritty and suspenseful series
readers wont want to put down.
The immediate success of David
Lagercrantzs The Girl in the Spiders
Web, a continuation of Stieg Larssons
Millennium series, shows that interest
has not waned for tough female
protagonist Lisbeth Salander. Emelies
public prosecutor Jana Berzelius is
drawn from a similar iconoclastic mold.
A few days later on a nearby deserted

shoreline, the body of a preteen boy
is discovered, and with him, the
murder weapon that killed him and
the original victim. Berzelius is drawn
more deeply into the case for as she
attends his autopsy, she recognizes something strangely familiar in his small,
scarred, heroin-riddled body. Cut deep into his flesh are initials that scream child
trafficking and trigger in her a flash of memory of her own dark, fear-ridden past.
Her connection to this boy has been carved with deliberation and malice that
penetrate to her very core.
Now, to protect her own hidden past, she must find the suspect behind these
murders, before the police do.
