Saga-Lill and Emmy have known each other since childhood but are at vastly different places in their lives: Emmy is a young mother and married to Mats, an older investment consultant. Saga-Lill is a former theology student who has lost her footing. Then there is Gusten Gripe, their friend who grew up in the polished suburb that the greater part of the story takes place in. But beneath the surface, the suburb is hiding an old wound: a brutal gang rape that took place in the house by the lake, the “Crow’s Ship.” Once the home of the affluent Häggert family, it now only houses the remaining son Nathan.
The violent incident is a thing of the past. The four perpetrators, “the boys,” were all sons of the community. But suddenly Cosmo Brant, the entrepreneur, returns to the area to make a film about the crime. He wants to call it “Who Killed Bambi?”.
Monika Fagerholm is finally back with Who Killed Bambi?, a novel about female friendship and rivalry, boys at the mercy of each other, and families breaking apart. About careless living, and the death of innocence.

Former interrogation leader Thorkild Aske must return to his roots on Iceland when his father Ulfur, an environmentalist with a checkered past, is stricken with cancer. But Ulfur is also in jail: he has been charged with the murder of his young lover. When Ulfur insists that he is innocent of the crime, Thorkild and his sister find themselves searching for the truth and the real killer. Their journey across Iceland and into the murky depths of the past – their own as well as that of Ulfur’s radical environmentalist group – threatens to lay bare dark secrets best forgotten. The price of the truth will be exacted in lives.
We Shall Not Awaken is the third Thorkild Aske novel, and a true exploration of the gothic and sardonic universe of Heine Bakkeid’s lauded protagonist.
Anders Roslund’s long-running bestseller Knock Knock is No. 5 both in audio and e-book on week 35’s official Swedish bestseller lists.

A brilliant novel that – without false pathos – beautifully addresses aging, saying goodbye, and reflecting on one’s own successes and failures. A highly recommended debut novel!

I’m impressed. Moved. Feeling speechless and struggling to put my experience into words. You’re the One I Write About is a strong, beautiful and exhilarating read.

Two giants of Nordic thrillers are here joining forces to launch a series. (…) Johana Gustawsson and Thomas Enger orchestrate a formidable mechanism where everyone seems to be concealing a piece of the truth.

[I]t’s an unconditionally truthful book about our time and its excesses. Kristín Eiríksdottir has captured this atmosphere perfectly in her novel.

Nowhere Land/Women in Revolt is the first part of a trilogy. It is about being so young that life is a horizon of possibilities and resistance, about what it takes to become an artist, and what stories one tells when nothing has yet happened.
