Prolitá krev

Author: Åsa Larsson

9,16 €

A pastor's murder disrupts summer celebrations in Jukkasjärvi near Kiruna. Prolitá krev returns Rebecka Martinsson to northern Sweden, where a new case meets her own vulnerability. Åsa Larssonová connects a criminal investigation with women's position, faith, and local power relationships.

Inspector Anna-Maria Mella leads the investigation, and the life of the murdered Mildred Nilsson becomes crucial. The pastor helped women in distress, provoking resistance. Behind the community's peaceful appearance lie grievances, hostility, and disputes over changing established ways.

Rebecka returns in a weakened state and becomes personally affected by the case. Threatening letters to Mildred point to long-standing hatred. The search for clues intersects with an examination of those who knew her.

Faith can offer support, while religious surroundings also provide a setting for power struggles. Resistance to women's independence gives the case a social dimension. Following Sluneční bouře, this second installment explores the personal consequences of violence and questions of guilt, loyalty, and moral choice.

This Czech-language edition from Host has 356 pages. Translator: Jana Holá. E-book formats: EPUB and PDF.
