SHADOW GIRL (SKUGGFLICKAN)
Anki Edvinsson
A teenager is found hit by a car, barely alive, on a country road outside Umeå. Initially, all the evidence points to a tragic hit and run accident, but the police soon realise that something is amiss. Who is the young woman’s father? When Charlotte von Klint and Per Berg start digging into her past, a dark story comes to light.
At the same time, the reader follows Linda in Stockholm, who is in an abusive relationship. One day, she finds a note in her boyfriend’s jacket pocket, suggesting that he is having an affair. But, the truth is worse than she could have imagined.
We also meet sixteen-year-old Luna, a vulnerable but determined teenager. She has fallen into the clutches of a network that will stop at nothing to exploit her until she becomes utterly desperate.
SHADOW GIRL (Skuggflickan) is a gripping crime novel about the vulnerability of young girls, parental betrayal and a legal system that cannot always be trusted.
