Publisher Description
Beneath a dark winter sky . . . death waits patiently.
A journalist is murdered in the frozen white landscape of a northern Swedish town. Annika Bengtzon, a reporter at a Stockholm-based tabloid, was planning to interview him about a long-ago attack against an isolated air base nearby, and now she suspects that his death is linked to that attack.
Against the explicit orders of her boss, she begins to investigate the event, which is soon followed by a series of shocking murders. Annika knows the murders are connected. At the same time, she begins to suspect that her husband is hiding something, and nothing can counteract the loneliness that has crept into her life.
Behind everything lurks the figure of the Red Wolf, a cold-blooded killer with the soul of a lover. In the end, she must discover the truth not only about the murders but also about the lies that are destroying her own family.

Red Wolf Listener Reviews

" 3.5 I thought I knew all the Scandinavian thriller writes, but this one is new to me. She's not quite as dour and gloomy as most, but the landscape sure is. Not sure it's a wonderful book, but a good read nonetheless. "

" I thought this book was pretty well written. I enjoyed the mystery, but thought the beginning was a little slowly paced. The end seemed to tie everything together, but throughout the book I was occasionally confused by certain characters and plot lines. Overall, an okay quick read. "

" Slow to start, but ultimately a very satisfying and suspenseful thriller! "
