when a woman's body turns up in a lake--a bullet to the back of her head--Violent Crime Unit commander Maria Kallio, freshly back from maternity leave, is fast to get on the case. The victim is ID'd as Annukka Hackman, wife of a prominent publisher and author of an upcoming unauthorized tell-all book on Sasha Smeds, Finland's celebrated racing rally driver. Almost as soon as the inquiry starts, it goes off the rails, as those connected to Annukka---and to Sasha--seem to have more secrets than they have alibis. As she struggles to balance her home life, run a department tainted by career-ending allegations, and catch a killer, Maria is shocked to find just what someone was willing to do in the name of love...or revenge.
