Exposed by Liza Marklund, Bantam Press, $32.95.
Annika Bengtzon is a young journalist eager to leave her dead-end relationship and quiet hometown and earn a full-time job on Stockholm’s tabloid Evening Post.
Josefin Liljeberg also wants to be a reporter, but she’s a stripper in a seedy club owned by her violent boyfriend and, before long, she’s dead, raped and murdered in a public park.
Josefin’s story will make or break Annika’s career, leading her to a prominent politician and a story that could change the course of Swedish history.
Yet the real threat is much closer to home and, like Annika, you won’t see it coming.
Exposed is another rich, multi-layered thriller from Liza Marklund. It’s the first, chronologically, of the Annika Bengtzon stories, although it’s the second to be published after the best-seller Red Wolf.
Jump in to the Annika stories wherever you like, but be warned, it’s almost impossible to stop at one.
