It's August and the annual Gothenburg Party is in full swing. But this year the bacchanalian blowout is simmering with ethnic discord spurred by nativist gangs. When a woman is found murdered in the park – her identity as inscrutable as the blood-red symbol on the tree above her body – Inspector Eric Winter's search for her missing child leads him from sleek McMansions to the Gothenburg fringes, where “northern suburbs” is code for “outsider” and the past is inescapable – even for Sweden's youngest chief inspector.
Ake Edwardson (Eksjö, Sweden, 1953) has held many jobs, including journalist, press officer for the United Nations and lecturer at the University of Gothenburg, the city where most of his crime stories are set. His work has been translated into 20 languages and he is a three-time winner of the Swedish Crime Writers’ Academy for Best Crime Novel. His first book, Till allt som varit dött, was published in 1995 and his eighteenth, Möt mig i Estepona, just came out in his home country. Ten of his novels feature Inspector Erik Winter, Sweden’s youngest chief inspector, beginning with Death Angels (published in 1997 as Dans med en ängel). The Shadow Woman is the second in the series. Other works include Sun and Shadow, Never End and Frozen Tracks.
