Sweden, Småland, 1557. When a crown officer is found dead in the snow, the villagers say a wolf took him. Karin, a hunter and tracker, sees something else in the trail he left behind: signs of violence, fear, and a lie the village would rather keep buried.
As winter closes in, Karin follows the tracks from the gallows hill into a community still scarred by rebellion, grief, and old loyalties. Each answer exposes another silence-and brings her closer to a truth powerful men have killed to protect.
To uncover what happened, Karin must decide whom to trust, what the village owes its dead, and how much justice can survive when everyone has something to lose.
The Wolf at the Gallows is an atmospheric historical murder mystery steeped in winter dread, folk belief, and the long afterlife of guilt.
