The Marked Children

By Jenny Rogneby

What price are you willing to pay to fulfill your dreams?

Acclaimed criminologist and crime writer Jenny Rogneby returns with a pacy, new series focused on a new police unit of interrogators solving serious crime.
 
On a hot summer’s day, a bomb threat at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm is called in. Police secure the scene around a black bag outside the hospital, but when the bomb technician unzips it, there are no explosives. Instead, the bag contains an infant.
 
The little girl’s life hangs in the balance, and the doctors discover something on her arm that has them very worried. Who is she? And who has left her outside the hospital? When another child is found, media coverage reaches new heights, and a major investigation is launched. The clues lead the police to a shadowy world where anything can be bought for money, a corrupt industry with links reaching to the upper echelons of power.
 
The Marked Children is the first book in the series featuring police interrogators Annie Altin and Alexander Tilly.
