THE DREAMER (DRÖMMAREN)

A renowned public prosecutor is found dead, on the very morning the trial againsta notorious motorcycle gang is about to begin. Suspicion initially falls on the gang, but when a priest is also found murdered outside the church, everything is thrown into chaos for the already depleted team of investigators at the Ostrobothnia Police. Is there a connection between the prosecutor and the priest or is there something the police are not seeing?

Criminal investigator Mija Wadö is restless, at home with her newborn baby and unable to take part in the investigation. Her relationship with her partner Ronnie is strained, and nothing feels as it should anymore. During a guest appearance at a lecture for a group of police cadets, Mija makes a startling discovery about an old case when she notices details the police previously overlooked. Can the two cases be connected some how?

The Dreamer is a gripping crime novel about family secrets, revenge and what people are willing to do for their loved ones.

REVIEWS

“The Dreamer is a compelling novel filled with many twists and turns. […] The language is straightforward and simple, without any particular stylistic flourishes, but the characters are portrayed in an engaging and interesting way. The resolution turns out to be quite different from what the reader is initially led to expect.”
