Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Among the recent slurry of Scandi-noir to wash up on our shores, it's sometimes hard to pick out winners, but this - seamlessly translated by Neil Smith - is one of them.
A wintry Stockholm is the atmospheric setting for this debut novel featuring news reporter Annika Bengtzon. It's a few days before Christmas, and the city's Victoria Stadium, home of next year's Olympics, has just been blown up. At first terrorism is suspected but there is only one casualty: the head of the Olympic's organising committee.
A tenacious investigator in the Sarah Lund mould, Annika juggles her job with husband Thomas and two small children. As she reports on the murder, she unknowingly becomes the next target. There are seven more books in the series to go.
