Black Butterfly

The charred body of a medium is found in the gutted remains of her office after a fire.

And it soon turns out that she was murdered —suffocated with a plastic bag and doused in

Maria Wern is forced to lead an investigation where neither the motive nor the victims seem to be connected — at the same time that her colleague Arvidsson’s loyalty is forcibly put to the test...
