A group of hate crimes, a conspiracy, or a coincidence?
Investigator Maria Kallio searches for answers close to home in
award-winning author Leena Lehtolainen's riveting thriller. After
completing a dangerous mission training police officers in war-torn
Afghanistan, Detective Maria Kallio returns to Finland as the head
of a new special crimes unit. But what awaits her in her home
country is her most challenging and unsettling case yet. Three
immigrant Muslim girls, all members of the same social club, have
gone missing under mysterious circumstances. When the body of a
fourth girl is found in the snow, strangled with her own headscarf,
the investigation takes on a grim new urgency. Is there a
xenophobic serial killer on the loose? A random white nationalist?
Or does something more insidious bind the girls? In a Finnish city
struggling to assimilate a new population of Muslim immigrants, the
answers are hard to come by... One thing is certain: it will take a
detective familiar with the darkest depths of humanity to sift
through the wreckage of clashing cultures in search of the truth.
That detective is Maria Kallio.

Department behind, Maria Kallio thought that a move to the
neighboring city of Espoo would signal a fresh start ? a chance to
not only put her new law degree to use but to nurture her budding
romance with Antti Sarkela. But when she discovers the strangled
body of a new acquaintance, old habits die hard for the redheaded
sleuth ? especially since the accused is not only the victim's
fianc? but a member of Antti's family. Though she works as a legal
counselor, Kallio soon finds herself unofficially investigating the
murder, now labeled a sex crime. While Antti's relative may have
some peculiar sexual tendencies, Kallio doubts that the man she's
agreed to defend is capable of the crime. To crack the case, Kallio
will have to pull back the curtain on Espoo high society?and
uncover a secret someone is willing to kill to keep hidden. Her
Enemy, the latest addition to Lehtolainen's bestselling crime
