ÄNKORNA – THE WIDOWS
By Pascal Engman
Two bodies are discovered in a Stockholm park, one is a policeman and the other is an unidentified young woman. With the police believing the woman to be nothing more than unfortunate collateral damage, they focus on the murder of the police officer. But Detective Vanessa Frank takes a different approach and her investigation turns out to be more personal than she could have imagined, leading her toward a real terror threat.
Vanessa must tread carefully, terrorist networks operate deep in the shadows and society’s fear of terrorism has made her job more chaotic and dangerous than ever. When those being hunted are bound together by grief driven to revenge, the consequences are devastating.
The Widows is the third standalone novel to feature Detective Vanessa Frank. In this fast-paced thriller, we delve into a frighteningly current threat to our society and even deeper into the mind of the headstrong heroine Vanessa.
