Couverture / Jaquette

A terrifying thriller, which is already a bestseller in Germany and Poland. It starts with just one body - tortured, mummified and then discarded. Its discovery reveals a nightmare world of hidden lives. Of lost identities, secret rituals and brutal exploitation, where nobody can be trusted. This is the darkest, most complex case the police have ever seen. This is the world of the CROW GIRL.
