from the author:

This book began when I heard one exciting story and decided to go to Hartola to properly study it. The royal community of Hartola and her viscous atmosphere immediately launched my imagination. Part of the places described in the book are real, the rest are artistic fiction. All events and people were invented by me, and any coincidences are random.

for whom this book is:

for readers of the action -packed Scandinavian literature: Lina Bengtsdotter, Suzanne Jansson, Stefan Angema, Camilla Rowli, Arne Distance; thrillers, detectives and noir.
