A Necessary Death

Second book in the series about Selma Falck. Selma wakes up to a nightmare. She is naked in a burning cabin on the Snaufjellet mountain. Her memory is gone, she has no idea where she is or how she ended up there. Beaten and bleeding, she barely manages to get out of the cabin. Without clothes, but in a pair of rubber boots that are far too big, she sees the cabin burning to nothing. There is no sign of any buildings nearby, the temperature drops and a blizzard sets in. Selma must survive. While Selma fights against injuries and frost, hunger and thirst, her memories come back in fragments. She struggles to put them together, but eventually a frightening picture of the events of the last six months forms. Selma realizes that it is not only important to live on, but to quickly return to civilization. Murder has been committed, a great injustice must be stopped. The future of the nation itself is at stake. And Selma's deadline to intervene is also eerily short.
