Shame
In an idyllic residential area outside of Stockholm, a girl lays herself down on the tram rails and waits for the train to come. In another part of Sweden, a man finds himself alone in a deep grave in the woods. Their close ones have no clue about the approaching catastrophe.
The girl and the man do not know each other, but they have something vital in common. Now it is up to police detective Emma Sköld to find the connection before it is too late. But the case takes an unexpected turn and becomes far more personal and frightening than Emma could have ever imagined.
SHAME is the seventh book in the popular crime series about police detective Emma Sköld. The series has sold over 5 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 15 languages to date.
