whose interactions and development provide as much forward momentum
as the search for the killer."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (STARRED REVIEW)
fter successfully tracking down and killing a rogue bear in the
willderness of northemn Sweden, a group of hunters is shaken by a
grisly discovery when they dress the bear carcass: human remains in
the stomach. Far away in the remote village of Kurravaara, an elderly
woman is found murdered with frenzied brutality, crude abuse scrawled
above her bloodied bed. Her young grandson, known to live with her, is
nowhere to be found.
Only Kiruna prosecutor Rebecka Martinsson sees a connection between
the two events, but thanks to the machinations of a jealous rival, she is
dropped from the case. Continuing to pursue answers in an unofficial
capacity, and with the reluctant assistance of her friend and police inspector
Anna-Maria Mella, Rebecka stands alone against a ruthless killer. At the
root of it all is a horrifying, century-old crime, the tendrils of which continue
to hold the small community in their grip.
PRAISE FOR UNTIL THY WRATH BE PAST
"Larsson's laid-back style makes her unflinching probing of the icy depths of
the human heart all the more chilling."
JAKE KERRIDGE, TELEGRAPH
"Larsson's best book so far. The supematural elements are worked
seamlessly into a complex and engaging mystery, resulting in a thoroughly
compelling reading experience."
