About Cara Lindqvist
Cara Lindqvist writes crime novels about cold places and the things they preserve. Her books begin with a body in a landscape that should not have kept it. A woman sealed flawless inside a festival ice sculpture on a frozen Chinese river. A scientist murdered in the world’s northernmost town, where burial is forbidden because the ground will not let the dead decompose.
