‘The Rust Forest’ published in Sweden
Leo Asker has started to get the Department of Lost Souls in order, and a promotion is within reach. However, the vengeful Jonas Hellman cannot accept this and tempts Asker with a cold case he’s sure will break her.
It concerns a decade-old murder of a woman in an abandoned barn, where the method bears eerie similarities to a body buried in the same forest two thousand years earlier. The case resurfaces when a confused young woman surprises some urban explorers at the crime scene, holding the severed finger of the victim.
Once again, Asker turns to Martin Hill for help in solving the puzzle with the seemingly mythological ties back to the Iron Age. What secrets are hidden in the Rust Forest?
The Rust Forest is the third installment in the bestselling Leo Asker Series.
