Generation noll Generation Zero

Fabian Risk #7

One late summer night, large parts of Skåne suddenly turn pitch black. Fabian Risk witnesses the blackout from his sailing boat with his daughter Matilda.

Back in Helsingborg, Fabian and his colleagues are faced with a number of seemingly inexplicable cases in the aftermath of the mysterious blackout. Cases where witnesses behave strangely and nothing seems to add up. In the middle of all this, an old girlfriend of Fabian’s contacts him after her daughter has gone missing. Has she been kidnapped, or does her father have something to do with her disappearance? In the search for the girl, Fabian starts to discern a pattern. But what is he missing?

One decade after the events in The Final Nail, Fabian Risk returns for a new, thrilling installment in Stefan Ahnhem’s bestselling series.

Reviews

“Generation Zero feels just as much like a future dystopia as it does a contemporary and dark crime novel. Ahnhem skillfully uses our current social climate and toys with all our fears about the future when he brings up racism, climate threats, and the rapid technical and medical developments. He has also, as usual, managed to put together a tangled plot and truly brutal story, which in an extremely well-composed way lead toward an ending where everything falls into place in quite an astonishing way. Without a doubt Stefan Ahnhem’s best book about Fabian Risk so far, and somehow it is as if 1984 suddenly has become fall 2025.”

“A wonderful read! /…/ My guess is that no one else would be able to pull off [this plot] without landing in a demolished house of cards. Crazy impressive and an amazing read!”
