Summary
Mika will do what it takes to make sure there are no more lost ones—and to bring the infamous killer, the Dark Angel, out into the light.
It’s summer in 1880 Stockholm, and the city bakes in the heat—but the heat on twelve-year-old Mika is lifting. After lying low following the dramatic blast at the jail, Mika’s relieved to learn her name is finally cleared. And it’s not a moment too soon—because Detective Hoff has a perplexing case involving the disappearance of a local teen. The girl’s wealthy family wants to make sure things stay quiet. Why would a girl who has everything want to run away? And why is her family so afraid to go public?
Then Tekla reaches out to Mika with a truly chilling discovery at a construction site in the city—a discovery that might hit a little too close to home for Mika. Could it be the work of the Dark Angel?
As the summer heats up, Mika will make some tough choices as she works to uncover these mysteries, including the biggest mystery of all: her own family. Join Mika and Detective Hoff in this thrilling new installment of the Moonwind Mysteries series!

Critic reviews
“This entry—like the previous installments—is exceptional: for its dry, witty humor and compelling plot; its characterizations, at once engaging and deeply respectful (Mika is indomitable: perceptive, adamant, compassionate, and vulnerable); and especially for the gravitas at the heart of its crime solving, an awareness of a deep inequity that resonates well beyond the stories’ historical and geographical setting. Swedish noir for the young.”—The Horn Book Magazine (starred review)
“Robust prose paints vivid pictures, enhancing characterization, plot twists, and an action-packed finale…Exceptionally entertaining, always suspenseful, and eminently satisfying.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“The Boxcar Children meets James Bond, only it's set in 1880 Sweden. With richly developed characters that evoke strong emotions, ranging from compassion to fear and disgust, this ongoing series takes readers inside a 19th-century orphanage, and this third installment offers a magnificently crafted tale with a racing plot."—School Library Journal
