Black Noise

"People thought it was a prank when the videos first appeared: empty minutes of darkness uploaded continuously to YouTube. But then they turned nasty. Repeat images of bloody violence spread like wildfire, showing helpless figures cowering on the ground as they were kicked over and over again. And when the dead bodies began showing up all over London it became clear this was no prank at all, this was grim reality. With the police unable to stop the spread of violence, Lia and Mari step in. Two independent Finnish women living in London, they spend their spare time investigating difficult cases that the police have failed to solve. Mari will have to call on the aid of her mysterious 'Studio', a private crime-fighting organisation that considers itself above the law, into which she has recently initiated Lia. But the stakes are high and Mari will have to risk much, perhaps the lives of all her companions including Lia, if she is to bring the perpetrator to justice."--Cover.
