Bortom broarna

Bortom broarna Beyond the Bridges

Henrik Ekblom #1

Henrik Ekblom is one of the biggest names in Stockholm’s financial scene and is living the life of his dreams in the city’s picturesque Old Town. But in a matter of days, his entire world is turned on its head. A life-threatening disease and a wild infatuation make him question his life choices. Has he spent his time on the right things, the right people?

Henrik receives a strange message from an H.C. Andersen, asking questions about a dilapidated old property called “Paradise” outside of Helsingborg. The plot thickens as it becomes clear that its owner is Henrik’s elderly mother, who appears to nurse a great anxiety when it comes to the house. Something must have happened there, but she refuses to tell him what.

Henrik decides to help his mother find closure. How did Paradise become such a source of unease for her? And could there be more people like her, haunted by its existence?
