Swift Wings of Death:
Two children search the tunnels under Visby and find the hall of the dead, a stone cave in the underworld, which, according to rumors, was a secret meeting place for the monks of the monastery and later used by baby farmers. Thirty-five years later, a broker makes a horrific discovery. At a house showing, a woman is found dead, sitting in a car in the garage. She is identified as the missing Märta Silverängen, a 34-year-old archaeologist who explored and mapped the tunnels under Visby. Maria Wern leads the murder investigation and at the same time is secretly watched by an unknown person, a lost soul who knew everything about Märta Silverängen. In Swift wings of death, Anna Jansson builds a nerve-wracking plot that takes us on a journey to Visby’s underworld – literally. Power play, murders and cruel human fates unfold in a gripping murder story.
