Unwanted by Kristina Ohlsson

A young girl disappears on a train travelling from Gothenburg to Stockholm. It appears her mother was distracted by a woman with a sick dog, allowing a man to kidnap the girl. No one in the train station, however, saw anything out of the ordinary. Police detectives Alex Recht, Peder Rydh, and Fredrika Bergman work together to find out what happened to the girl, despite the two male detectives' dislike of Fredrika. She, however, is able to look at the case differently than her colleagues, which proves to be an asset. Unwanted is the first in a new series with Fredrika as the main character. Readers who like Swedish mystery by Hakan Nesser and Kjell Eriksson will be glad to have a new author to read.
