While herding the family's goats on the mountain, Frederika happens upon the mutilated body of one of their neighbors, Eriksson. Above them looms Blackåsen, a mountain whose foreboding presence looms over the valley and whose dark history seems to haunt the lives of those who live in its shadow. Maija, her husband Paavo and her daughters Frederika and Dorotea arrive from their native Finland, hoping to forget the traumas of their past and put down new roots in this harsh but beautiful land. "It's the kind of winter that will remind us we are mortal," he said. Hilary Mantel "Wolf winter,'" she said, her voice small. Lee Child "Visually acute, skillfully written it won't easily erase its tracks in the reader's mind." "Exquisitely suspenseful, beautifully written, and highly recommended." A compelling historical thriller set in 1700s Sweden from an exciting new literary talent.
