Sun And Shadow cover

Meet Erik Winter: not a stereotypically glum detective. The youngest chief inspector in Sweden, he wears sharp suits, cooks gourmet meals, has a penchant for jazz and is about to become a father. But he has his share of troubles too: a bloody double murder on his doorstep is only the beginning.

From the three-time winner of the Swedish Crime Writers' Award.

A couple are found murdered in their flat in Gothenburg, their bodies symbolically arranged in a mysterious and grotesque fashion.

From the three-time winner of the Swedish Crime Writers' Award.

A couple are found murdered in their flat in Gothenburg, their bodies symbolically arranged in a mysterious and grotesque fashion. As Winter follows the trail of clues into the cult world of the gothic, he becomes enmeshed in a riddle of nightmares, where he must untangle good from evil and sun from shadow.

On a par with PD James... Edwardson is dazzlingly clever * Helsingsborg Dagblad *
Åke Edwardson's series about a colourful, troubled young detective provide a large ration of suspense * Chicago Tribune *
'Classy and complex police procedural' * Daily Mail *
A very pleasing mixture of police procedure and urban-domestic saga * Morning Star *
