THE WORLD BESTSELLER has been called the “Swedish Agatha Christie.” Camilla Lackberg is a leading author among the renowned masters of Scandinavian detective fiction. Her first novel became a world bestseller - as did every subsequent one. Lackberg is one of the ten most popular writers in Europe. Her books have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold more than 20 million copies. Fjällbacka is well-behaved and prosperous - a real piece of paradise. At least, that’s how writer Erica Falk used to think of her hometown. That is why she was shocked to the core by the news of the mysterious death of her childhood friend. The beautiful Alexandra, lying with her wrists cut in the bath, bled to death, and then the winter cold turned her body to ice. But not everyone believes that this is suicide...

“Lackberg’s novels make you feel either hot or cold.” Sun “Lackberg has a special gift: she managed to create two of the most complete images in all modern detective literature - and do it with a special warmth that breaks through the Scandinavian coldness.” Independent
