1794

1794, Stockholm. A mother mourns her daughter brutally murdered on her wedding night. Desperate, with no one to answer her plea, she ends up knocking on the door of the one-armed watchman, who bitterly weeps for his dead friend. At Danviken Hospital, on the outskirts of the city, a young nobleman is tormented by the abhorrent crime he committed. Cardell's investigation once again leads him into Stockholm's abyss and to the discovery that the city is more perverse and dangerous than ever. In this new episode, the reader reunites with Mickel Cardell and Anna Stina Knapp in their noisy and depraved world, where what remains of Gustavian splendor is on the verge of collapse. Stockholm will see its days grow darker and its former glory give way to the darkness hidden in the nooks and crannies of the corrupt city.
