Dark Pines by Will Dean

Tuva Moodyson is a deaf newspaper reporter in the small Swedish town of Gavrik.  She is hoping to write a great story which will help her career and get her noticed by a big national paper.  

A body is found in the local Utgard forest and Tuva is sent to investigate.  The dead man has been shot by a rifle and his eyes have been removed.  About 20 years before there were a series of 3 murders, the victims were all men, were all in the forest and they had also had their eyes removed.  The original murders had been nicknamed the Medusa killings.  

Within a few days yet another body is found.  Tuva has to overcome her fear of the dark forest to visit the few people who live there so that she can question them and find out what they know of the old and new killings.  One of the residents had been arrested as a suspect in the original murders but had been released without charge.  Tuva struggles to get the police to take her concerns seriously so she tries to find out who Medusa is on her own.
