IN DEFENSE OF EVIL (TILL ONDSKANS FÖRSVAR)

Anna Jansson

When a man and a woman are discovered dead in a locked sauna, and a third man is rushed unconscious to the emergency room, the investigation falls to Detective Kristoffer Bark and his team in Karlskoga. The survivor’s fragmented memories hold the key — but someone is determined to silence him before he can speak.

Psychologist Mia Berger is brought in to develop a profile of the killer. What her superiors don’t know is that Mia and Bark share a secret relationship. Haunted by a past where she lived under the control of a psychopath — a man now imprisoned — Mia’s world shatters when she realizes she’s being stalked once again. Could her tormentor have escaped? A tense manhunt unfolds, leading to a dramatic police operation that engulfs Örebro Airport.

As the official investigation presses forward, a small, covert group works tirelessly to protect Mia and her young son from a relentless predator willing to destroy anyone who stands in his way.

In this gripping and emotional thriller, bestselling author Anna Jansson explores the devastating impact of a single individual’s cruelty — and the extraordinary resilience that can rise when people come together to fight back. To be published 25 of July.
