“Jenny Rogneby is the new queen of Nordic noir. Her heroine is like no one else.” —David Lagercrantz, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl in the Spider’s Web (Millennium Series)
This hard-boiled crime novel introduces its troubled, amoral heroine as she investigates a string of high-profile robberies for Stockholm’s Violent Crimes Division.
A best-seller in Sweden, this unusual police procedural filled with unexpected twists and turns will thrill fans of Steig Larsen and Henning Mankell.
Naked and bloody, a 7 year old girl walks into a bank in central Stockholm in broad daylight and gets away with millions. Leona Lindberg of Stockholm’s Violent Crimes Division agrees to work on the case. With a long, distinguished history in the police force, she seems the perfect choice. But Leona is grappling with deep issues of her own—a gambling addiction, a strained marriage—that could jeopardize the investigation. As she struggles to keep the volatile pieces of her life under control, the line between right and wrong becomes increasingly unclear—and even irrelevant.
Leona is a dark and gritty that read challenges feminine norms and poses questions about what lies behind the choices we make.
