Lapland Finland, 1952, at the height of the Cold War. A misunderstood, flawed, whip-smart Finnish woman police detective investigates a murder on the Finno-Russian border. But that is but the beginning of her involvement. In fact, the locals have been the victims of a crime so evil it is beyond anything any of them could have ever imagined.
New crime fiction heroine Hella Mauzer is introduced in this Cold War-set thriller - a misunderstood yet brilliant detective fighting both crime and prejudice.
