The Girl and the Bomb
2014
Rust and Metro live life to the fullest in the small Finnish city of Kotka. The lovers work together by day and write graffiti by night, always staying one step ahead of the law. But their luck runs out after an ambush by rogue security guards causes Rust to fall to his death. Having literally left their marks all over the city, Metro cannot help but be reminded of Rust everywhere she goes, making it impossible for her to move past the tragedy. Heartbroken and alone, she becomes determined to get to the bottom of her partner’s death and to exact revenge on those responsible by using the tool she knows best: spray paint. As she fights to bomb the system, she is constantly—and harshly—reminded of how unfair life can be. Up against lies, betrayal, and corruption, Metro musters the strength and inspiration to persevere in the name of truth and by adding beauty to an ugly world.

The Girl and the Rat
2015
After losing her boyfriend and partner in crime, Rust, during a tragic run-in with security, Metro moves to Berlin to start over. She finds a home in a grimy squat where she befriends other graffiti artists, and together they carry out aggressive attacks, bombing entire trains and buildings with fresh paint and achieving international notoriety by posting their hits online. Adorning the attic of their squat is a wall-size piece by world-famous tagger Banksy depicting a silhouetted rat spraying a wall. It’s a hidden treasure amid the squalor. But when Metro comes home one day to find bodies—including one familiar face from her past—scattered around the building and the amazing mural missing entirely, she and her friends are forced into action. The piece turns up at auction for millions of dollars, and Metro must follow it to its new home in Kotka, Finland, a town she thought she had left behind for good. Up against the law and on the run from her personal demons, Metro has no choice but to seek justice with the only means she has: graffiti.

Tyttö ja seinä
2016
Arvostelumenestykseksi nousseen Metro-trilogian päätösosa. Metro on nuori kotkalainen nainen. Toisin kuin ikätoverinsa hän ei tee itseään näkyväksi bloggamalla ja vloggaamalla vaan maalaamalla betoniseinään grafiitteja. Mutta nyt Metro pakenee henkensä edestä sekä poikaystävänsä Rustin surmaajaa että venäläistä oligarkkia, jonka kotigalleriasta Metro on tuhonnut muutaman miljoonan euron edestä taidetta. Mutta tarjoaako kylmä Kymenlaakso piilopaikkaa tummahipiäiselle naiselle, jolla on enemmän vihollisia kuin ystäviä ja jolta on viety kaikki muu paitsi intohimo graffitiin ja kosto? Vai onko Metrolla edessä sama kohtalo kuin Rustilla ja monella muulla hänen rakastamallaan ihmisellä? Jari Järvelä on kotkalainen kirjailija, jonka Metro-trilogia on saavuttanut suuren suosion sekä Suomessa että muualla maailmassa. Sarjan ensimmäisen osan
