Council

Helga Finnsdottir left her Viking-chieftain foster parents but she stopped in Uppsala when she fell in love. Now she's established herself as a local healer and life is good - hairy northerners and southern Swedes alike descend on the town for a trade council. One delegation is headed by Helga’s own foster sister who has her own agenda. But the last time Helga saw her foster sister she was being cast out by their father for killing their brother. When one of the delegates is murdered Helga's soon tagged as the lead suspect. She clears her name but that only leads suspicion to fall on to her man. Once again Helga must solve a murder before the innocent pays with his head.
