Publisher Description
It is Autumn in Linköping and the heavens have opened, but not even these biblical rains can wash away the blood of crimes past and present.
Then the brutally-stabbed body of self-made Internet billionaire Jerry Petersson is discovered floating facedown in the moat surrounding his home, the imposing Skogså Castle.
Malin Fors, the brilliant but flawed star of the Linköping police force, is already struggling to keep her life together following the recent murder attempt on her teenage daughter, Tove. Now, as the Petersson case forces Malin to delve deep into Linköping's history and her own family's past, the secrets she uncovers threaten to drown her, too . . .
AUTUMN KILLING is the third book in the internationally bestselling Malin Fors series of Swedish crime novels featuring a brilliant and complex heroine to rival Sarah Lund of The Killing and Saga Norén of The Bridge.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Swedish writer Kallentoft's psychologically gripping third novel featuring Supt. Malin Fors (after 2013's Summer Death), Count Erik F gelsj of Link ping, Sweden, is forced to sell Skogs Castle, his family's 17th-century home, because his son and heir, Fredrick, has incompetently managed the estate. The buyer, arrogant and resentful millionaire Jerry Petersson, spent his childhood in Link ping, where people like the F gelsj s snubbed him. Soon after moving into the castle, Petersson is found face down in the moat with a fatal blow to the head and 40 postmortem stab wounds. Despite her alcoholism and a personal life spiraling out of control, Malin skillfully leads the complex investigation. Potential suspects include members of the F gelsj family, several villagers Petersson wronged over the years, and the victim's former business partner, convicted criminal Jochen Goldman. Well-drawn characters help propel the plot to an exciting climax.
