Fox girl

An exciting thriller that topped the bestseller lists in Germany and Sweden. The book has been translated into 11 languages. The author is the recipient of a prestigious award from the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers. Several years ago, something terrible happened at a children's camp. Seven children hold the key to a horrifying truth. The body of a 14-year-old girl is found in a water-filled quarry. Her wrists are cut, a piece of rope is tangled in her long hair, and the number 26 is marked on her skin above her jeans. The next morning, in an elite neighborhood, the body of an elderly owner of an antique bookstore is found in a luxurious villa. The woman was brutally attacked: the killer literally tore her body apart in a fit of rage. Additionally, a horrifying painting by a well-known local artist is found in one of the villa's rooms: it depicts seven children in animal masks and a red-haired girl in a fox mask, incredibly similar to the girl whose body was discovered in the quarry the day before. Although the teenager's death was ruled a suicide, the painting leads investigators to believe it may be connected to the woman's murder. It soon becomes clear that this is just the beginning of a series of brutal murders. Will the detectives be able to piece together all the details of this puzzle and stop the ruthless killer?
