A crime story with Commissioner Paula Pihlaj

She drowned like a kitten in a shipping container. Could it be an uncomfortable load? Outside the Helsinki villa of the wealthy Lehmusoy business dynasty, someone has placed a conspicuous blue container full of water. However, the strange installation contains something that does not belong to modern art: a drowned young woman of dark complexion. The investigators, led by Inspector Paula Pihlaj, come across clues that are no less confusing than the murder itself. Why did the unfortunate woman from the heart of Namibia go among the cold Scandinavians? Is Lehmus' connection to developing Africa driven by altruistic intentions, or have the snakes appeared in paradise again? And what other disgusting secrets disguised as goodies will emerge from the depths of the container? It's up to Paula to crack the case before another dead body comes forward. And most importantly - before the demons from the past catch up with her too... The opening part of the gripping bestselling crime series with Commissioner Paula Pihlajová. The authorship of the Ollikainen couple, considered by Scandinavian critics to be the new Lars Kepler, has already been published in ten other languages.
