WINNER OF SWEDEN’S BEST FIRST CRIME NOVEL AWARD • In the land of silence and snow, the killing has begun . . . Rebecka Martinsson is heading home to Kiruna, the town she’d left in disgrace years before. A Stockholm attorney, Rebecka has a good reason to return: her friend Sanna, whose brother has been horrifically murdered in the revivalist church his charisma helped create. Beautiful and fragile, Sanna needs someone like Rebecka to remove the shadow of guilt that is engulfing her, to forestall an ambitious prosecutor and a dogged policewoman. But to help her friend, and to find the real killer of a man she once adored and is now not sure she ever knew, Rebecka must relive the darkness she left behind in Kiruna, delve into a sordid conspiracy of deceit, and confront a killer whose motives are dark, wrenching, and impossible to guess. . . . Praise for Sun Storm “Richly atmospheric.”—Kirkus Reviews “Larsson builds suspense gradually but inexorably, and she is equally good at creating mood. . . .This impressive debut heralds another striking voice from Scandinavia.”—Booklist “For those who eschew exotic travel in favor of the familiar hammock, there’s nothing better than a well-written and well-translated story from some place you’ll probably never visit. is that story and more!”—Rocky Mountain News

A vivid tale of suspense from one of Sweden's finest crime writers. As spring arrives in the far north of Sweden, a young woman's body surfaces through the breaking ice of the River Thorne. At the same time, visions of a shadowy figure haunt the dreams of Rebecka Martinsson, a prosecutor in nearby Karuna. Could the body belong to the ghost in her dreams? And where is the dead girl's boyfriend?Joining forces once again with Police Inspector Anna-Maria Mella, Rebecka finds herself drawn into an investigation that stirs up long-dormant rumors of a German supply plane that went missing in 1943--and of Nazi collaborators in the town, where shame and secrecy shroud the locals' memories of the war.And on the windswept shore of a frozen lake lurks a murderer who will kill again to keep the past buried forever beneath half a century's silent ice and snow.

Es verano en Suecia, cuando brilla el sol de medianoche y el largo invierno ha sido olvidado. En este tiempo magico, una sacerdotisa luterana, Mildred, es hallada muerta con signos de tortura en la ciudad de Kiruna. Mildred era una declarada feminista, una luchadora amada y odiada por igual. Esta claro que no todos en Kiruna aceptan que una mujer sea sacerdote, pero tres meses despues del brutal asesinato la policia sigue sin tener una pista. Rebecka Martinsson vuelve a Kiruna, el lugar donde crecio, a realizar una gestion para el bujete del abogados de Estocolmo en el que trabaja. Sin embargo, pronto se ve envuelta en este misterioso caso: Anna-Maria Mella, la policia local de Kiruna, acude a Rebecka en busca de ayuda; sabe que solo ella es capaz de desenmascarar la oscura verdad que esconden los habitantes de esta gelida ciudad. Asa Larsson sorprendio a los lectores con "Aurora boreal", un exito que la encumbro como la autora revelacion de la novela negra escandinava. Con Sangre derramada, novela galardonada con el Premio a la Mejor Novela Sueca del Ano, Larsson vuelve a sumergirnos en la inolvidable e inquietante atmosfera de Kiruna.
