It’s a harsh winter in 1880 Stockholm. An orphan, 12 year old Mika is familiar with the city’s gritty underbelly. To survive, she has developed a keen eye for detail, and when a police constable notices her ability to deduce things that others miss, he enlists her help in a murder investigation. When it becomes clear that powerful people are hiding something, this unlikely pair of detectives have to risk everything to solve the case. An atmospheric and award-winning novel; the first in The Moonwind series.
