Death list

Justice is blind. Vengeance sees everything. Twenty-year-old Agnes has spent years living in the shadows of a trauma she couldn't name. Her only sanctuary is Ullsaxen, a secret online community where survivors find the one thing the legal system denied them: belief. But as the group grows, a darker shadow begins to fall across Gotland. Acquitted predators and suspected offenders are being hunted. One by one, they are found dead, their bodies marked with a single, cryptic name: Erinya. Beside each victim lies a pair of wool shears-the jagged signature of a killer who has decided that the courts are no longer enough. For Detective Inspector Maria Wern, the case is a minefield. Her own colleague, Jarita, is being forced to relive her nightmare as her attackers appeal their convictions. When one of the men walks free, the vigilante's message becomes clear: no one is beyond reach. But the real danger might be inside the precinct. Reinforcements have arrived from the mainland in the form of a formidable investigator nicknamed 'Ragnarök.' Instead of helping, he seems intent on dismantling the investigation from within. As Maria uncovers evidence that Ragnarök is protecting someone at the highest levels, she realizes she is no longer just hunting a killer-she is fighting a conspiracy that could shatter the police force forever. In the haunting twenty-first installment of the Maria Wern series, international bestseller Anna Jansson explores the terrifying line between justice and revenge. On Gotland, the shears are open, and no secret is safe. Trigger warning for sexual abuse and rape. 'With the page turner The Death List she is still on the top of her game. 5/5' - Litteraturmagazinet Sweden 'The Death List is a reader-friendly, fast-paced crime novel. [...] Anna Jansson really manages to depict the ethical dilemma through her characters.' - Lottens Bokblogg, blog Sweden
