When the King Dies - Elina Backman (978-966-993-854-1)

One day, the peace of the small town of Hartol was shaken: the body of a girl with a strange mark was found in the river. 30 years later, Saana is fired from her job as an investigative journalist, so she decides to spend the summer with her aunt in the small town of Hartola. When Saana begins to investigate the case of a girl who drowned 30 years ago, she does not yet know what kind of network she has stirred up. Meanwhile, in Helsinki, in the sea fortress of Suomenlinna, the body of an extremely influential man with fire marks is found, and investigator Jan Leino and his team have a new case on their hands. Ian fears that the murder at the Royal Gate is just the beginning. And so it turns out: an unknown criminal declares Hartola a kingdom and begins to kill its “kings,” leaving burnt marks on the victims’ skin. Saana and Jan continue their investigations until their paths cross and the cases merge into one mystery.
