    About this series

    Was she the billionaire’s lover? His partner in crime? Or his killer?

    Former cop Emma Tapper and her lawyer boss Angela Köhler are defending shipping boss Anita Spendel, charged with murdering her billionaire husband. Anita insists Martin Spendel is still alive, but his car is soaked in his blood. Emma must clear Anita’s name by finding the missing man—dead or alive…

    Meanwhile, on a luxury yacht off the coast of Ibiza, Bianca Aguilera is relaxing in the sun when a drone delivers an unexpected parcel. The contents: chilling evidence that someone close to her is dead. Horror quickly turns to realisation. She is being made to pay a heavy price for her ruthless takeover of a drugs cartel—but who is out for revenge, and can she stop them?

    When Emma and Angela’s investigation leads them to Bianca, they’re unsure what to make of the street-smart single mother whose rise from nowhere seems suspiciously meteoric. Was she Martin’s lover, his partner in crime, or his killer? What is the real cargo Spendels Shipping International deals in? And can Emma find who is guilty in a case where no one seems wholly innocent?

      Is he guilty or innocent? Even he doesn’t know… On the eve of their thirtieth birthday, twins Jasmine and Nicolas Moretti celebrate late into the night. But when Nicolas wakes several hazy hours later, Jasmine is dead—and he is covered in her blood. Panicking, he takes the murder weapon and runs into the cold Stockholm night. For the police, it’s an open-and-shut case. Nicolas is guilty. And given that he remembers so little of what happened that night, even he isn’t convinced of his innocence. Emma Tapper, an ex-cop driven to drink by a tragedy she’s devastated she couldn’t prevent, is recruited by defence lawyer Angela Köhler to help with the high-profile Moretti case. While her new boss seems more concerned with winning than discovering the truth, Emma begins investigating the circumstances of the murder. As she digs into the case, Emma finds herself clashing with former colleagues who are convinced they already know the truth. And the more horrific secrets she unearths, the more her own traumatic past returns to haunt her. She’s not used to working to free a man behind bars, but something tells her Nicolas might be innocent. But if he didn’t do it, who did?

    Author

    Anna Karolina

    With fifteen years of experience in law enforcement, Anna Karolina is perfectly equipped to write crime fiction. Having made the jump from working in the Swedish police’s Robbery Unit to being an author, Anna was keen to write more than mere procedurals. Setting out to portray her antiheroes and their complex relationships with an authenticity matching her knowledge of policing, she quickly became one of Sweden’s most notable crime writers. Her first novel, Savage Congress, the first in a series following notorious policewoman Amanda Paller, was met with high praise from both critics and readers. She continues to craft stories that depict criminals in as much detail as they do investigators, drawing on her own experiences to create a compellingly detailed and accurate, albeit fictional, world of crime and punishment.
