Though young, Teresa’s life was already complicated from her possible connections to organized crime to the affair she ended with a distraught professor.

Multiple connections interlink the victim, the suspects, and even Natalia herself. These Dark Things by Jan Merete Weiss is not just a murder investigation but a drama about a city and a woman who must survive its dangerous grasp.
