But that rule is put to the test when she happens upon five hundred washed euro notes hanging up to dry in her school's darkroom, and it is shattered once Lumikki realises who owns them. Caught in an increasingly tangled web of deception, corruption and danger, Lumikki finds herself navigating Tampere's dark underbelly in her quest to expose its shocking connection to the international drugs trade. Lumikki is smart, but is she smarter than a master criminal? Can she bring down the infamous 'Polar Bear' - or will she become another one of his victims?

Encyclopedia of Nordic Crime Fiction
Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.
Blanc com la neu
Segona part de la trilogia SÓC LA LUMIKKI, el best-seller que va venir del fred. Segueixen les aventures de l'hereva de Lisbeth Salander: Lumikki Andersson. Han passat més de tres mesos des de Vermell com la sang. Tothom pensa que la Lumikki Andersson és morta. Ella, que encara pateix les seqüeles del tret que va rebre, ha fugit a Praga, on actua com una jove «motxil·lera» més, en meitat d'una increïble onada de calor (cosa que resulta irònica: la Lumikki ve d'una Finlàndia atrapada en la pitjor onada de fred dels darrers anys). Un dia, en un cafè, una noia se li presenta i afirma ser la seva germanastra. La Lumikki es mostra escèptica, però sap que a la seva família hi ha molts secrets, i finalment la creu. Ràpidament es fan bones amigues, i poc a poc l'amiga l'anirà introduint en un món veritablement perillós: el de les sectes, al qual la Lumikki es veu arrossegada. Fins que un dia descobreix un terrible secret: els líders de la secta pretenen organitzar un suïcidi col·lectiu de tots els seus membres. I algú pensa obtenir grans beneficis de la massacre.
