Malin Fors is a Detective Inspector with the Linköping police in Sweden. She is sharp, driven, and good at her job, but her personal life is far less controlled. A single mother with a complicated relationship with her daughter Tove, Malin also battles a persistent addiction to tequila that threatens both her career and her closest relationships.
What makes Malin effective as an investigator is her refusal to let go. She pushes harder than her colleagues, takes cases personally, and sees connections others miss. The crimes she investigates in Linköping are often brutal, and each novel ties them to the rhythms of the Swedish seasons, from frozen midwinter landscapes to stifling summer heat. Across the 8 English-translated books, Malin grows and changes, but never quite escapes the pull of her own worst instincts.
