Original Finnish title Valkoinen kuin lumi (2013). Translated from the Finnish by Owen F. Witesman. Snow White Trilogy # 2. London: Hot Key Books 2015. Paperback, 214 pages.
Dimensions: 128 x 199 x 19 mm. Weight unlabelled < 190 g.
I categorized this book as 'Literature & Fiction' because that category covers most genres. In Finland it's said to be a teen book (we don't use the term YA). It's all that and a thriller too.
The blurb:
On the scorchingly hot streets of Prague, Lumikki Andersson is recovering from the trauma back home in Finland that left her near dead in the snow. Now she's alone again, which is exactly how she likes it.
But when a nervous young woman named Lenka approaches Lumikki claiming to be her long-lost sister, the peaceful solitude is shattered.
Lumikki needs to find out more, but after she meets Lenka's unusual 'family', soon she is fighting for her life again — and, possibly, for her sister's too.
The second volume in a stunning thriller sequence from acclaimed Finnish crime writer Salla Simukka

The second in the trilogy travelled in with the first (the third rushed here last week!), so I look forward to reading these books once the new school year has settled into more of a routine. Thank you so much for making these available.
