Shortlisted for the Petrona Award for Best Scandinavian Crime Novel Anna Fekete, who fled the Yugoslavian wars as a child, has just started working as a criminal investigator in a northern Finnish coastal town, when she is thrust into a rolling murder investigation. It doesn't help that her new partner, Esko, doesn't bother hiding his racist prejudices. Anna's work as a criminal investigator barely gets off the ground before she is thrust into a case that has riveted the nation. A young woman has been killed on a running trail, and a pendant depicting an Aztec god has been found in her possession. Another murder soon follows. All signs point to a serial killer. But can Anna catch the Hummingbird before he - or she - strikes again? Translated from the Finnish by David Hackston

'Exceptionally well written and deftly crafted with a profusion of unexpected twists and turns.' * The Midwest Book Review * 'Heikkapelto's brooding debut, a large-scale police procedural set in a small Finnish town. . . Promises tough and powerful crime fiction to come.' * Publishers Weekly * 'A beautifully written and many-layered mystery novel that illuminates the dangers of prejudice, while still providing a major thrill ride.' * Mystery Scene Magazine *
