Is he guilty or innocent Even he doesnt know

On the eve of their thirtieth birthday, twins Jasmine and Nicolas Moretti celebrate late into the night. But when Nicolas wakes several hazy hours later, Jasmine is deadand he is covered in her blood. Panicking, he takes the murder weapon and runs into the cold Stockholm night.

For the police, its an open-and-shut case. Nicolas is guilty. And given that he remembers so little of what happened that night, even he isnt convinced of his innocence.

Emma Tapper, an ex-cop driven to drink by a tragedy shes devastated she couldnt prevent, is recruited by defence lawyer Angela Kohler to help with the high-profile Moretti case. While her new boss seems more concerned with winning than discovering the truth, Emma begins investigating the circumstances of the murder.

As she digs into the case, Emma finds herself clashing with former colleagues who are convinced they already know the truth. And the more horrific secrets she unearths, the more her own traumatic past returns to haunt her. Shes not used to working to free a man behind bars, but something tells her Nicolas might be innocent. But if he didnt do it, who did

Author Bio

With fifteen years of experience in law enforcement, Anna Karolina is perfectly equipped to write crime fiction. Having made the jump from working in the Swedish polices Robbery Unit to being an author, Anna was keen to write more than mere procedurals. Setting out to portray her antiheroes and their complex relationships with an authenticity matching her knowledge of policing, she quickly became one of Swedens most notable crime writers. Her first novel, Savage Congress, the first in a series following notorious policewoman Amanda Paller, was met with high praise from both critics and readers. She continues to craft stories that depict criminals in as much detail as they do investigators, drawing on her own experiences to create a compellingly detailed and accurate, albeit fictional, world of crime and punishment.
