Items related to Silenced
Fifteen years ago, a teenage girl is assaulted and raped as she picks flowers for a Midsummer's Eve ritual. Cut to the present, and a man is killed in a hit and run. He has no identification on him, he is not reported missing nor wanted by the police. At the same time, a priest and his wife are found dead in an apparent suicide. Fredrika Bergman, along with Alex Recht's federal investigation unit, is assigned to the seemingly unconnected cases. The investigations lead to a clandestine people-smuggling network: a new player on the international human smuggling market operating out of Bangkok. As the police slowly uncover the shocking hypocrisy behind the network, they begin to find a trail that runs all the way back to the 1980s, to a crime that went unreported, but whose consequences will reach further and deeper than anyone ever expected.

Review:
Praise for Unwanted:
'The author...uses her inside knowledge to great effect in this compelling debut' - Sunday Times
Praise for Silenced:
'Superbly crafted, and with a set of police detectives who are all too human, it seeps into your subconscious, as only truly good thrillers can do' - Daily Mail
'Kristina Ohlsson is a rising star of Scandinavian crime fiction...Ohlsson's second novel, Silenced, translated by Sarah Death (Simon & Schuster £12.99/ebook £6.99), is quite as good as her first, and displays the same originality of plot...The role of the church, illegal immigration and sexual violence all play part in the resolution of this intriguing novel' - --Sunday Times, 30/9
'The novel's thrilling climax serves as a reminder of what can go wrong when a crime goes unreported and memories are allowed to fester. Kristina Ohlosson's bestseller is taut and compelling and will appeal to lovers of crime fiction and Nordic noir' --Take a Break Fiction Feast, April issue
