Nattankare Nightshifter
August Strindberg #5
In the picturesque village of Hovenäset, preparations are underway for the wedding between August and Maria. However, their joy is overshadowed by looming threats.
Determined to unearth a long-buried family secret, August finds himself met with resistance at every turn. Meanwhile, Maria begins receiving anonymous, disturbing messages. Could this be tied to one of her past police cases?
As this unfolds, a man approaches the police with a chilling account: on a cold night at the island of Guleskär, he saw a young woman, scantily dressed and limping, fleeing in terror. When Maria and her colleague Ray-Ray investigate, they make a grisly discovery—a blood-stained, metal prosthetic leg.
What truly transpired that night? And what makes a mysterious Norwegian, who has traveled all the way from Tromsø to Kungshamn, so fascinated by Guleskär?
Nightshifter is the fifth installment in Kristina Ohlsson’s No. 1 bestselling series about August Strindberg.
Reviews

“Kristina Ohlsson has truly found her stride in the stories about August Strindberg. In a world where so much currently feels bleak, there’s comfort in returning to August Strindberg and Hovenäset. There’s something appealing about kind people in a world filled with so much hatred. The murders and suspense add an extra layer to the stories, but it’s really the settings and characters that drive the narrative forward. Kristina Ohlsson herself describes her work as writing fairy tales for adults—and that’s exactly the feeling one gets when reading the August Strindberg books. The unique world she’s created in Hovenäset is proof of that. Especially in Nightshifter, I think, where she’s fully embraced that storytelling style. ”
