DARK LEGACY (MÖRKT ARV)
John Willander Lambrell
On an early November morning, twenty-one-year-old Emma Jönsson is found dead in Hagaparken, Stockholm—murdered in a calculated and chilling way. Why has no one reported her missing?
Newly arrived in the capital, Detective Inspector Monica Eurell is appointed lead investigator. She teams up with profiler Benjamin Krantz, and together they soon discover striking similarities to two other unsolved murders from recent years. Could they be facing an undiscovered serial killer? And can they catch him before he strikes again?
Dark Legacy is a story of contemporary Stockholm and the lengths people will go to in order to survive the often ruthless city. It is also a story of killers and victims—of what drives a person to commit acts of brutal violence. For Benjamin Krantz, the answer will turn out to be far more personal than he ever imagined.

REVIEWS
“The story flows just as seamlessly, and the writing feels as natural and confident in Stockholm’s nightlife as in Vimmerby or Malung. And it’s terrifyingly suspenseful! I devoured it feverishly in one sitting. And that ending—my god! When does the next one arrive?”

“The book follows a classic crime structure, with a central storyline at its core and two subplots that allow us to get to know the main characters more deeply. It is both gripping and entertaining.”
