The Second Deadly Sin: Rebecka Martinsson: Arctic Murders – Now a Major TV Series - Hardcover

As dawn breaks over the freezing tundra of the far north of Sweden a hunt begins. A brute of a bear, all the more dangerous for being wounded, is on the rampage. When it is finally brought to earth the hungers are shaken by a grisly discovery. Across in Kurravaara, a woman is found murdered, dispatched with savage, frenzied brutality, crude abuse scrawled above her bloodied bed. Her young grandson - who lost his father to a road accident and his mother to her new lover - is nowhere to be found. Only Rebecka Martinsson connects the bear and the bloodshed. But dropped from the case thanks to a jealous rival, she now stands alone against an elusive killer who brings death to young and old, spawned by a horrifying crime that festers after one hundred years on ice.
The Second Deadly Sin is Martinsson's most twisted and unpredictable case to date, a tale that thrills on every level, as a page-turner and as a skeleton key to the cruellest vices of the human heart.
