The Intruder
“Fans of psychologically insightful Scandinavian crime fiction will relish this tale of betrayal, shame, and madness” from the author of The Viper (Publishers Weekly, starred review). The Intruder is an unusual story about betrayal and dark secrets. The Andersson family is being sent scary letters without a sender’s name. Who could possibly want to harm them? Gotland policeman Fredrik Broman and his colleagues take the threats seriously, but cannot rule out the possibility that it is all a tasteless joke. When the threats escalate and the couple’s daughter disappears, all doubts vanish. This is for real. And it is only the beginning. When the police pressure the husband, a complicated family history is revealed. What really made him return to the small island after his successful career as an international photographer? Is it really someone nearby that wants to harm the family, or does the threat come from elsewhere? Acclaimed crime novelist Håkan Östlundh combines high literary quality with high-end suspense.
The Viper
"Another Scandinavian star has been born into the world of crime fiction. Don't miss out on Hakan Ostlundh!" --Stephen Booth, author of The Devil's Edge Published in nine countries worldwide, Håkan Östlundh is well on his way to becoming one of the new superstars of Scandinavian crime fiction. In this gripping and haunting novel, Arvid, a ruthless business consultant for a major international company, returns home to Sweden after a lengthy assignment in Tokyo. Four days after his return, the maid discovers two dead bodies on the living room floor—a man and a woman. At first, police detective Fredrik Broman assumes the two bodies to be Arvid and his wife, but the male body is badly disfigured and could be anyone. Soon, Fredrik is knee-deep in case that is much more complex than he could ever have imagined. Set on the island of Gotland, The Viper is a fabulous crime novel that explores the terrors lurking beneath small town life, where escaping one's past is impossible.
Terror
Bara några dagar före midsommar hittas ett ungt par skjutna - närmast avrättade - i en stuga vid havet på södra Gotland. Båda är svenskar, men har egyptiskt ursprung. Mycket talar för ett rasistdåd. Men snart kompliceras fallet. En tredje person har befunnit sig tillsammans med paret i huset. Ett egyptiskt pass finns kvarlämnat på platsen.Var är mannen nu? Och varför ger han sig inte till känna?Har mördaren skjutit fel personer?Det blir en tung och krävande utredning för polisen i Visby, inte minst för Fredrik Broman som även har annat att tänka på. Sedan han blivit utslängd hemifrån av sin fru är hans tillvaro minst sagt kaotisk. Det egyptiska passet visar sig vara början på en märklig och våldsam händelsekedja som kommer att skaka hela nationen och få en minister på fall. Håkan Östlundh är tillbaka med den tredje delen i serien om Fredrik Broman och hans kollegor vid Visbypolisen. Liksom titlarna Släke, Dykaren och Blot utspelas Terror på det idylliska men isolerade Gotland, där det visar sig vara svårare än i storstaden att undkomma sitt förflutna.
L'intrusa
La piccola isola di Fårö, dove si svolge gran parte dell'azione (qui Ingmar Bergman passò gli ultimi anni della sua vita), è descritta nel momento di passaggio dai colori accesi dell'estate nordica verso quelli più cupi e morbidi del precoce autunno. Fårö, fine estate: la famiglia Kjellander ritorna sulla piccola isola dell'arcipelago di Gotland dopo aver trascorso alcune settimane di vacanza a Stoccolma. Henrik Kjellander e la moglie Malin, approfittando della stagione estiva che vede le piccole isole del Baltico popolarsi di turisti in cerca di un'estate fresca e dai colori intensi, hanno messo in affitto la propria villa. Quando Hnerik e Malin rientrano in casa scoprono però che gli ultimi inquilini non l'hanno pulita prima di andare via, ma anzi l'hanno imbrattata volontariamente e in maniera inquietante. Fredrik Broman, di ritorno al lavoro dopo due anni di malattia è incaricato di svolgere le indagini. Se in un primo momento i sospetti sono puntati al di fuori della famiglia, con il passare del tempo il cerchio si stringe intorno ad essa, fino a svelare un movente passionale, che coinvolge il giovane padre di famiglia e che si manifesta in tutta la sua crudezza.

La vipera
«Chi ha amato la trilogia di Stieg Larsson apprezzerà gli scenari di Östlundh e quella suspence capace di far riflettere sull’origine della ferocia umana». Il Venerdì di Repubblica «Un entusiasmante thriller che conferma la tradizione letteraria scandinava di utilizzare il crimine per affondare le mani fino alle radici delle questioni sociali». Publisher’s Weekly
Falling Freely, As If In A Dream
From the grand master of Scandinavian crime fiction—and one of the best crime writers of our time—a new critically acclaimed novel centered around the unsolved murder of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986. It's August 2007, and Lars Martin Johansson, chief of the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Sweden has opened the files on the unsolved murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme. With his retirement quickly closing in, Johansson forms a new group comprised of a few trustworthy detectives who doggedly wade through mountains of paperwork and pursue new leads in a case that has all but gone cold despite the open wound the assassination has left on the consciousness of Swedish society. Yet the closer the group gets to the truth, the more Johansson compromises the greater good for personal gain, becoming a pawn for the private vendetta of a shady political spin doctor. Sharply detailed and boldly plotted, Persson's work lifts the veil on one of history's greatest unsolved crimes in a novel that goes toe-to-toe with the best of true crime books.

Jusqu'à présent, il n'a reçu qu'un appel à propos d'un agneau mort retrouvé dans un abri à bateau, ce qu'il a pris pour une blague, jusqu'au moment où il a vu l'animal. Quand un soir, le vieux Gardelin l'appelle pour lui parler d'une voiture mal garée avec un coffre sur le toit, et qu'il ajoute qu'il y a une étrange odeur d'algues, Fredrik Broman se rappelle avec effroi le jour où il avait attendu devant un appartement à Stockholm, et de l'odeur de ce qu'il avait découvert à l'intérieur... Désormais, rien ne sera plus comme avant sur le Gotland : quand le paradis estival se transforme en île de terreur, Fredrik et Ninni voient leur rêve devenir cauchemar... Une écriture littéraire fluide, un rythme haletant avec une multitude de détails et un héros énigmatique et controversé sur la plus grande île de Suède...
