Hidden in Memories

NOW A NETFLIX SERIES

BOOKBEAT'S SWEDISH CRIME AUTHOR OF THE YEAR

The slaying of a hotel developer in the Swedish mountains casts a shadow over a blissful vacation paradise in a chilling novel of suspense by the acclaimed author of Hidden in Shadows.

On Easter weekend, a guest at a luxury ski lodge in Åre is stabbed to death in her plush suite. She's Charlotte Wretlind, a property developer who planned to restore a nearby mountain hotel to its long-gone glory days. It was not a random attack. It was an act of pure aggression leveled against a woman with plenty of enemies.

As the murder spreads panic among tourists and Åre residents alike, Detective Inspectors Hanna Ahlander and Daniel Lindskog face a shady staff, a dogged press, and multiple suspects. But the case takes a turn when a cleaning woman from the lodge is found strangled to death in the woods--and Charlotte's son goes missing.

Hanna and Daniel plunge into a winding investigation tangled with damaged relationships, corrupt power players, betrayal, and, for Daniel, a personal struggle to process the memories of a painful past. As more troubling questions arise, one thing is certain: Åre's killing season has only just begun.
