Efforts to identify the bizarrely mutilated corpse are entrusted to incorruptible lawyer Cecil Winge, who enlists Cardells help to solve the case. But time is short: Winge's health is failing, the monarchy is in shambles, and whispered conspiracies and paranoia abound. Winge and Cardell become immersed in a brutal world of guttersnipes and thieves, mercenaries and madams. From a farmer's son who is lead down a treacherous path when he seeks his fortune in the capital to an orphan girl consigned to the workhouse by a pitiless parish priest, their gruesome investigation peels back layer upon layer of the city's labyrinthine society. The rich and the poor, the pious and the fallen, the living and the dead--all collide and interconnect with the body pulled from the lake. 546 $a In English, translated from the Swedish. 650 0 $a Detectives $v Fiction 650 0 $a Homicide $v Fiction 650 0 $a Corruption $v Fiction 651 0 $a Stockholm (Sweden) $x Social life and customs $y 18th century $v Fiction 651 0 $a Stockholm (Sweden) $x History $y 18th century $v Fiction 651 0 $a Sweden $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction 655 4 $a Mystery fiction 655 4 $a Suspense fiction 655 4 $a Historical fiction 700 1 $a Segerberg, Ebba $e translator 941 $a 2 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20230627010958.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20200929012359.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2AE4B87E021B11EBA789D99C28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
