A murder is just the beginning…

When ó ttar Karlsson, a wealthy and respected government official and businessman, is found murdered, after failing to turn up at his own surprise birthday party, the police are at a loss. It isn’ t until young police officer Sigurdí s finds a well-hidden safe in his impersonal luxury apartment that clues start emerging.

As ó ttar’ s shady business dealings become clear, a second, unexpected line of enquiry emerges, when Sigurdí s finds a US phone number in the safe, along with papers showing regular money transfers to an American account.

Following the trail to Minnesota, trauma rooted in Sigurdí s’ s own childhood threatens to resurface and the investigation strikes chillingly close to home…

Atmospheric, deeply unsettling and full of unexpected twists and turns, Dead Sweet is a startling debut thriller that uncovers a terrifying world of financial crime, sinister cults and disturbing secret lives, kicking off an addictive, chilling new series.
