As she begins to unravel an increasingly complex case, she's led on a deadly trail where illegal immigration, drugs and, ultimately, murder threaten not only her beliefs, but her life. Anna's partner Esko is entrenched in a separate but equally dangerous investigation into the activities of an immigrant gang, where deportation orders and raids cause increasing tension and result in desperate measures by gang members - and the police themselves. Then a bloody knife is found in the snow, and the two cases come together in ways that no one could have predicted. As pressure mounts, it becomes clear that having the law on their side may not be enough for Anna and Esko. 586 $a Winner: Best Finnish Crime Novel, 2014. 650 0 $a Policewomen $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Illegal aliens $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Finland $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Suspense fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Hackston, David, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006095728.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68C35CACC93011E88539171297128E48 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
