The Secret History meets The
Alice Network in this riveting tale of murder and conspiracy in Sweden
during WWII by critically acclaimed author Cecilia Eckbäck.
It is 1943 and Sweden’s neutrality
in the war is under pressure. Laura Dahlgren, the bright, young right-hand of
the chief negotiator to Germany, is privy to these tensions, even as she tries
to keep her head down in the mounting fray. However, when Laura’s best friend
from university, Britta, is discovered murdered in cold blood, Laura is
determined to find the killer.
Prior to her death, Britta sent a
report on the racial profiling in Scandinavia to the secretary to the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, Jens Regnell. In the middle of negotiating a delicate
alliance with Hitler and the Nazis, Jens doesn’t understand why he’s received
the report. When the pursuit of Britta’s murderer leads Laura to his door, the
two join forces to get at the truth.
But as Jens and Laura attempt to
untangle the mysterious circumstance surrounding Britta’s death, they only
become more mired in a web of lies and deceit. This trail will lead to a
conspiracy that could topple their nation’s identity—a conspiracy some in Sweden
will try to keep hidden at any cost.
