A Distant Cry

Detective Inspector Erik Winter’s holiday comes to an abrupt end at four o’clock on a warm morning in late summer. A young woman is found murdered by a lake outside of Gothenburg. The woman cannot be identified. She has no name and no one seems to be missing her. The only thing Winter knows for sure is that she has given birth to a child. Slowly, he realises that he must search in the past to find answers to the many questions that are piling up.

‘Distant Cry is a masterful crime novel. I find it hard to believe that anything better is being written in this genre in Sweden right now.’ SR Gothenburg

‘Åke Edwardson’s atmospheric crime novel is incredibly good.’ DN
