In The Second Deadly Sin, dawn breaks in a forest in

northern Sweden. Villagers gather to dispatch a rampaging

bear. When the beast is brought to ground they are horrified

to find the remains of a human hand inside its stomach.

In nearby Kiruna, a woman is found murdered in her bed, her

body a patchwork of vicious wounds, the word WHORE scrawled

across the wall. Her grandson Marcus, already an orphan, is

nowhere to be seen. Grasping for clues, Rebecka Martinsson

begins to delve into the victim's tragic family history. But

with doubts over her mental health still lingering, she is

ousted from the case by an arrogant and ambitious young

prosecutor. Before long a chance lead draws Martinsson back

into the thick of the action and her legendary courage is

put to the test once more.
