It’s 1995 and Stella Blomkvist is a newly-graduated lawyer. When a well-known journalist disappears during the course of his work, Stella is drawn into what becomes a complex murder investigation that stretches around the world. When a young rape victim pursues justice, Stella can’t refuse to support her, even when there are powerful figures who want to shut her up.
Everything is where it should be here, including familiar friends and allies such as Jack Daniels, lovers of every variety, and a cast-iron sense of justice.

Murder on the Hillside is the thirteenth Stella Blomkvist novel, featuring this sharp-tongued, über-cool and indefatigable fighter armed with her own quick mind, insight, one-liners and mother’s aphorisms as she takes on murderers and power-crazed villains.
