Maria Wern 1: The Speechless God

The Speechless God is Anna Jansson's debut novel and the first in the hit Nordic crime series about Detective Constable Maria Wern.
"The man was hanging stiffly by a slip noose, his shirt ripped to shreds, with a thick stick piercing his belly." Police constable Maria Wern and her colleagues are stunned by the bestiality they encounter. A similar murder occurred in Uppsala nine years earlier. The killer had apparently died in a car fire. Could there be a connection after all?
Thanks to Maria's persistence, the image of a murderer begins to coalesce - a human being betrayed and degraded to the point where reality gives way to insanity.
