Schatten über dem Wald

A case for Olivia Rönning and Tom Stilton – The Spiegel bestseller now in paperback. A body is discovered in a large anthill in the Swedish forests. Olivia Rönning is to assist the local police with the murder investigation. The crime scene is not far from an ancient Sámi sacrificial site, where forensic experts find clear traces of blood. Fear spreads in the nearby village of Slagtjärn. Is it still safe to take a walk alone at dusk? Thanks to the influx of city dwellers and Dutch emigrants, the small town enjoys a vibrant community life. The acceptance of outsiders and eccentrics has traditionally been high, but now the cohesion of the community is threatened. The deeper Olivia delves into this world, the more suspicious and closed-off the people become. To uncover the village's secret, she ultimately has to ask Tom Stilton and Mette Olsäter for help.
