Victims
Quando il corpo mutilato di un uomo viene trovato in un fienile a nord di Stoccolma, l’ispettore capo Carl Edson e la sua squadra si preparano per quella che – nonostante l’insolita e atroce crudeltà verso la vittima – sembrerebbe un’indagine per omicidio abbastanza semplice. Questa sensazione, però, dura molto poco: avvicinandosi al corpo, si rendono conto che l’uomo è ancora vivo. Ma anche questo, sfortunatamente, dura molto poco: trasportata d’urgenza in ospedale, la vittima muore in circostanze misteriose. Forse il killer è tornato a finire il lavoro? Sulla scena del crimine accorre prima di tutti gli altri colleghi Alexandra Bengtsson, tenace giornalista di cronaca ner...
Uhri ja pyöveli
Kuka jakaa oman käden oikeutta? Synkkä ja raaka romaani Seitsemän-elokuvan ja Lars Keplerin hengessä. Yllätykselliset juonenkäänteet vetävät maton kokeneimmankin lukijan alta. Kun tunnettu seksuaalirikollinen löytyy ristiinnaulittuna ladon seinältä, käynnistyy tutkinta, joka osoittautuu haastavimmaksi komisario Carl Edsonin uralla. Tekijä ei ole jättänyt itsestään mitään jälkiä lukuun ottamatta autonavainta, jonka toimittaja Alexandra Bengtsson sattumalta löytää rikospaikalta. Johtolangat vievät jengitaustaisen miehen luokse, mutta Edson alkaa aavistella olevansa tekemisissä poikkeuksellisen ovelan murhaajan kanssa. Jakaako joku oman käden oikeutta – ja löytyykö tekijä ennen kuin uhriluku kasvaa? Bo Svernström (s. 1964) työskentelee Aftonbladetin toimittajana ja hänellä on tohtorintutkinto ruotsalaisesta kirjallisuudesta: Uhri ja pyöveli on hänen esikoisromaaninsa, jonka oikeudet on myyty jo kymmeneen maahan, ja joka on keikkunut pitkään Ruotsin bestseller-listoilla. Svernström asuu Tukholmassa ja kirjoittaa toista romaaniaan.
Ofrenes offer
En nøgen mand findes brutalt myrdet i en lade lidt uden for Stockholm. Men da politiet ankommer, gør de en makaber opdagelse: Manden er stadig i live. Kriminalkommissær Carl Edson og hans team sættes på sagen, og journalisten Alexandra Bengtsson fra Aftonbladet er den første, der skriver om sagen i medierne. Manden viser sig at være en berygtet kriminel med mange fjender. Da flere brutale og tilsyneladende tilfældige mord sker, forsøger politiet desperat at finde et mønster. Men det, der først ligner et opgør i den kriminelle underverden, viser sig at være langt mere kompliceret, og Carl Edson og Alexandra Bengtsson drages længere og længere ind i den betændte sag, hvor intet er, som de troede. Ofrenes offer er første bind i serien om Carl Edson og hans team.
A Silenced Voice
A moving memoir of an inexplicable crime, a family's loss, and a legacy preserved. Kim Wall was a thirty-year-old Swedish freelance journalist with a rising career. Then, in the summer of 2017, she followed a story that led to an eccentric inventor in Copenhagen. Instead of writing the next day's headline, she'd become one. As the bizarre events of Kim's murder unfolded, the world watched in shocked disbelief. For Kim's distraught parents, Ingrid and Joachim, it was a devastating personal struggle. In the ensuing months, day by grueling day, they had to come to terms with their loss, process the global media attention, and endure the investigation and trial. In the end, they'd make certain that Kim would be seen not only as a victim but as a bright, funny, complicated, ethical, and selfless young woman--a loved and loving daughter, sister, fiancée, colleague, and friend. Kim Wall's life and promise may have been cut short, but everything she stood for lives on in this emotional memoir of braving the worst of days, moving forward, and never forgetting.

Istanbul Passage
In the bestselling tradition of espionage novels by John LeCarre and Alan Furst, Istanbul Passage brilliantly illustrates why Edgar Award–winning author Joseph Kanon has been hailed as "the heir apparent to Graham Greene" (The Boston Globe). Istanbul survived the Second World War as a magnet for refugees and spies. Even expatriate American Leon Bauer was drawn into this shadow world, doing undercover odd jobs in support of the Allied war effort. Now as the espionage community begins to pack up and an apprehensive city prepares for the grim realities of postwar life, Leon is given one last routine assignment. But when the job goes fatally wrong—an exchange of gunfire, a body left in the street, and a potential war criminal on his hands—Leon is trapped in a tangle of shifting loyalties and moral uncertainty. Played out against the bazaars and mosques and faded mansions of this knowing, ancient Ottoman city, Istanbul Passage is the unforgettable story of a man swept up in the dawn of the Cold War, of an unexpected love affair, and of a city as deceptive as the calm surface waters of the Bosphorus that divides it.
The Dark Heart
A chilling true crime story of poisonous family secrets, love gone wrong, and a cold case that refused to stay buried... In late summer of 2012, millionaire landowner Göran Lundblad went missing from his farm in Sweden. When a search yielded nothing, and all physical evidence had seemingly disappeared, authorities had little to go on--except a disturbing phone call five weeks later from Göran's daughter Maria. She was sure that her sister, Sara, was somehow involved. At the heart of the alleged crime: Sara's greed, her father's land holdings, and his bitter feud with Sara's idler boyfriend. With no body, there was no crime--and the case went as cold and dark as the forests of southern Sweden. But not for Therese Tang. For two years, this case was her obsession. A hard-working ex-model, mother of three, and Missing People investigator, Therese was willing to put her own safety at risk in order to uncover the truth. What she found was a nest of depraved secrets, lies, and betrayal. All she had to do now, in her relentless and dangerous pursuit of justice, was prove that it led to murder.
A Drop of Midnight
World-renowned hip-hop artist Jason "Timbuktu" Diakité's vivid and intimate journey through his own and his family's history--from South Carolina slavery to twenty-first-century Sweden. Born to interracial American parents in Sweden, Jason Diakité grew up between worlds--part Swedish, American, black, white, Cherokee, Slovak, and German, riding a delicate cultural and racial divide. It was a no-man's-land that left him in constant search of self. Even after his hip-hop career took off, Jason fought to unify a complex system of family roots that branched across continents, ethnicities, classes, colors, and eras to find a sense of belonging. In A Drop of Midnight, Jason draws on conversation...
The Gospel of the Eels
