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.

The hair-raising mash-up of feminist X-Men, gothic fairy tale,
family saga and biting social criticism that is taking Europe by
storm. When Anita Naakka jumps in front of an oncoming train, her
daughter, Norma, is left alone with the secret they have spent
their lives hiding: Norma has supernatural hair, sensitive to the
slightest changes in her mood--and the moods of those around
her--moving of its own accord, corkscrewing when danger is near.
And so it is her hair that alerts her, while she talks with a
strange man at her mother's funeral, that her mother may not have
taken her own life. Setting out to reconstruct Anita's final
months--sifting through puzzling cell phone records, bank
statements, video files--Norma begins to realise that her mother
knew more about her hair's powers than she let on: a sinister truth
beyond Norma's imagining.
