Swedish public prosecutor Jana Berzelius is back in the twisted second instalment of Emelie Schepp’s award-winning series, perfect for fans of Jo Nesbø and Stieg Larsson.

A professor of social psychology explores the history of execution in America, weighing its social costs, discussing its potential benefits and problems, and building a new model for understanding the politics behind the death penalty.

In this second exciting novel written by a former JAG and municipal court judge, P.I. Pepper Keane must contend with a stolen bluetick coonhound and a vengeful biker gang leader.

When his own government turns against him, undercover agent Jason Steed will have to rely on his training to defeat the Triads.
