– I wished to jot down a novel during which the case wouldn’t be solved by an inspector who had fallen into alcoholism, however by a younger, career-seeking lady of my age. Ema Šiold follows in her father’s footsteps, though he doesn’t approve of her daughter’s selection. Based on the daddy, working within the police is simply too dangerous. It seems he is proper. Emma, a younger and exquisite murder investigator, faces stereotypes – nobody expects her to be smarter than others and dare to query the established guidelines. There’s just one downside – once you begin digging right into a case that appears to have already been unraveled, that foresight can harm her.

We invite you to learn an excerpt from the guide
Sofie Sarenbrant
The nook of disgrace
He follows a person in boots up a hilly FOREST PATH. The bottom sways underneath my toes, my head is dizzy.
How did he get right here?
The bushes are rustling, the wind tears the brightly coloured leaves, which fall to the bottom as they spin. Blood purple ones all the time appeared probably the most stunning to him. Autumn is enchanting. The final ones to penetrate by way of the branches
the solar’s rays illuminate the observe, however the soul is darkened by the shadow of grief. Pictures of life swirl in your head. It has the whole lot that many can solely dream of.
Three pretty youngsters, an exquisite spouse. A beautiful home in a fantastic location. A dream automotive with the whole lot
equipment. The most costly excessive stress washer doable, two robotic lawnmowers, a pool with an computerized chlorination system. He has a weak point for luxurious – he likes unique watches and cameras, know-how, sports activities vehicles. One thing he might not afford till his profession took off. Brother won’t ever cease pulling his tooth. Let your self be jealous in order for you – he labored arduous to succeed.
All that trouble at work, the late-night answering of e-mails, the kids’s efforts to get his consideration. Emotions of guilt and dissatisfaction with oneself.
He stepped into his white footwear, getting soiled as he walked.
It is a disgrace you did not put on one thing extra applicable. Nothing you are sporting proper now might be made for the woods or the chilliness. No shirt, no jacket, no navy blue cotton pants. Few days would survive like this.
Humorous concept.
“We’ll be there quickly,” comes a voice forward and he wakes up from his ideas.
The solar has sunk even decrease, it is going to quickly be darkish.
The forest is sort of miserable.
Hiding centuries of secrets and techniques.
Little paws rustled within the bushes, a squirrel munched on a tree trunk.
He’s fascinated by the disproportionately giant tail for his small physique.
The person factors to the clearing:
– Ten.
Only a few meters to go.
He feels neither reduction nor nervousness. It is going to be as it is going to be. A man-made calm covers the physique, the pinnacle is like cotton wool. The shapes of the setting are getting fainter. The person with the boots stops. Then he bends down and following scraping the leaves and branches off the bottom grabs one thing that appears like iron bars.
– Will you’re taking it from the opposite facet? he asks. – Too heavy for one.
After lifting the large lid, they see a pit a number of meters deep. Sufficiently big to suit an individual.
– Please inside.
All of the sudden he hesitates if he actually desires it.
However there isn’t a going once more.
CRIMINAL POLICE INSPECTOR Ema Šiold crosses the nook by way of Police Park in Kungsholmen in Stockholm. A canine is taking part in within the mustard yellow leaves. Autumn is a particular time of 12 months, particularly
on such a sunny morning when the colours simply explode. In a couple of minutes, she might be on the job she had longed for. After parental go away, she feels that it’s not too early to return. Being out of labor for thus lengthy shouldn’t be for her, though the second time was extra nice.
He’s regarding to show on the entrance to the precinct, however he sees a shadow underneath a big oak tree. Somebody is watching her. Emma takes a breath and slows her tempo. That lady reminds you of one thing, however you solely perceive who she is once you get nearer.
Former policewoman Madeleine.
The solar hides in a cloud for a second and the face turns grey. Madeleine appears to be like totally different from the final time Emma noticed her. Her hair continues to be jet black, however her cheeks are a lot plumper, and her garments are much less fashionable. With out understanding it may very well be referred to as one in all many. Madeleine shortly approaches and stops proper subsequent to:
“Whats up, Emma.” Can we have now a fast chat?
Emma hesitates. It is her first day at work, she must be on time, however crucial factor is that she would not need to speak to the girl who rammed her on the highway. Tried to kill. How did she even know Emma was going to start out work at this time? That is clearly not a coincidence. Emma appears to be like round – there isn’t a one round. Not going to be alone with Madeleine.
“I’ve nothing to say to you,” he says and continues.
Madeleine grabs the shoulder:
– Wait!
“Let me go,” Emma blurts out. – We’re proper subsequent to the police. The way you dare?
She rests her arms within the air reassuringly.
– What you want? Emma asks, seeing that the girl in entrance of her appears to be like extra upset than hostile.
“Excuse me,” says Madeleine.
Emma is not positive what she means. Threatening letters to Neil, following which one to her, discovered on Inesa’s nursery shelf?
I’ll all the time discover you.
Emma has little question that it was written by Madeleine,” Nilis acknowledged the drawing.
Or apologize for ramming? It would not matter, she would not need to have any enterprise
with that lady.
“Love might make an individual behave surprisingly,” says Madeleine in a hushed voice. “You are fortunate to have Tom.”
Emma shakes her head. Calling Tom too impartial. He’s Niles to everybody, together with Madeleine. Does this imply that they’ve lastly forgotten him? Madeleina’s unrequited love for Nili crossed the boundaries and
Emma responded as nicely. She appears to be like appraisingly on the lady in entrance of her. Possibly there’s just one strategy to eliminate her for good, and that is to inform the reality.
– I had, – corrects Emma. – We aren’t a pair anymore.
Then he turns and walks away. Not going to get stopped anymore. Out of the nook of her eye, she sees Madeleine standing within the shade of the bushes observing her. Thank God, it doesn’t comply with, however at the same time as the gap will increase, the disagreeable feeling doesn’t disappear.
Why did you say that the whole lot is over between them?
It is none of Madeleine’s enterprise. Emma comes up the steps and steps by way of the pompous gate. The safety guard should be new as a result of Emma would not know her. It appears to be like like a stranger, regardless that that is Emma’s second house. Suspicion
doesn’t disappear even following exhibiting the certificates. As soon as inside, she tries not to consider Madeleine. It’s hoped that this was their final assembly. She has no purpose to search for Emma anymore.
In any case, he is aware of that Nilis is alone once more.
Within the elevator mirror, Emma appears to be like at her makeup-free face, green-brown eyes, shoulder-length blond hair, and wonders what magnificence is: happiness or punishment? Drawback – the outside simply attracts consideration, as if appears to be like have been its solely benefit.
Though typically being underestimated is sort of helpful.
When the elevator opens on the seventh flooring, Emma is able to get to work, however first she can have a cup of espresso. This unsophisticated setting is related to homicide investigations and late nights. Right here, even the partitions scent of espresso. Properly, possibly apart from the one time the sewage system failed and the precinct reeked of crap for per week, however she tends to overlook that. Emma walks into the lounge. Within the analysis division of the Stockholm area, the whole lot is as standard, though on the similar time totally different. In March, when she went on go away, she was a mom of 1 little one.
Now there are two.
As Ema Šiold pours espresso, her boss Lars Lindberg seems. They hug one another in greeting and sit down on the espresso desk.
“Welcome once more,” he says. “Take a sip following which I am going to inform you what I’ve.”
Lindberg is sporting the identical brown corduroy jacket as all the time, however one thing regarding his look appears unfamiliar. Possibly it is getting previous?
She smiles and tastes the espresso:
– New provider?
“No, the identical previous shit,” Lindberg laughs and adjusts the collar of his shirt. – Bitter?
“Simply totally different,” Emma replies. She longed for that cup of espresso, however she had forgotten its ugliness. – How are you?
“I am unable to complain,” he replies. – I ponder how Nili will probably be at house?
– We’ll see. I hope okay.
Then each are silent for some time. Emma doesn’t like small speak, she tends to get to the purpose as quickly as doable. A chair that has been sat on 1000’s of occasions appears to be like a lot harder.
– What case will I work on? she asks.
“The lacking Peter Lind,” Lindbergh solutions. – I simply acquired data that he was discovered lifeless within the forest in Dalarna. The identification is established shortly, as a result of he’s a well-known face.
Fashionable morning present host. Revered and cherished by all Swedes. Lovely. Profitable. Charming. Competent. A real mother-in-law’s dream.
“All indications are that he was murdered.”
