An accidental slip of a blade...

Then murderous revenge...

A patient's accidental maiming leads a young surgeon to abandon his profession...

Now, ten years later, a series of gruesomely senseless murders are rocking the medical community. The weapon? A surgical scalpel.

Who is preying on these victims? What does the grisly pattern reveal? And who will be next? Special prosecutor Jana Berzelius is in charge of the investigation. What she can't know until finally closing in on the murderer is how her own mother's recent death is intimately connected.

For fans of Tess Gerritsen and Patricia Cornwell, an intricate medical thriller that keeps everyone guessing.

2017 SWEDISH CRIME WRITER OF THE YEAR

'Schepp may be the smoothest storyteller among the new crop of Nordic noir aces...the ingenious plot reveals and hidden connections keep you glued to the action.' – Kirkus Reviews

      Jana Berzelius has a lot on her plate in Swedish author Schepp’s hard-hitting third thriller featuring the Norrköping public prosecutor (after 2017’s Marked for Revenge). First, Jana’s adoptive mother dies of a sudden heart attack. Next, coworker Per Åström, “the only social company she allowed herself,” steps up his efforts to get close to the intensely private Jana. Meanwhile, her archnemesis, criminal suspect Danilo Peña, escapes from the private hospital room where he’s been under guard. Finally, a busy workload gets even more demanding when a serial killer begins torturing and dismembering seemingly random victims with a surgical scalpel. Schepp ably juggles a sizable cast of complex supporting characters as she drops subtle clues about the murders and to her enigmatic lead’s past; an open ending suggests that readers haven’t seen the last of Jana. Fans of Scandinavian noir will be well satisfied. Agent: Lena Stjernström, Grand Agency (Sweden).
