Wolf Winter is a historical mystery-thriller from Sweden. It is 1717. Maija and her young family are moving from their costal home to start over in the mountains of the Swedish Lapplands. Shortly after their arrival a neighbor’s mutilated body is discovered on the mountain. Many of the settlers try and write off the death as a wolf attack, but Maija is hesitant to believe it. There are too many unanswered questions and no one is giving a straight answer. As the wolf winter, a winter so harsh it reminds one just how human they are, sets in, Maija’s husband must leave to seek food and supplies for the family. Maija is left with the newly arrived priest to discover the dark histories of the mountain and what the cost of survival really is.

Wolf Winter is full of historical detail and insights; a fantastic ‘whodunnit’ rich with character and place. For those looking for a mystery with depth, pick up a copy today
