THE ARCHIPELAGO MURDERS


A crime fiction success set against the stunning backdrop of Stockholm’s beautiful archipelago—where, behind the seemingly idyllic facade, unimaginable cruelty and breathtaking intrigue lurk in the shadows.


Much like Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple, but in a modern twist, archipelago guide Kina Bergsmed is drawn into the Södertörn police’s hunt for the perpetrator, finding herself at the very heart of the action—at great risk to her own life.


The Skärgårdsmorden books are standalone stories, each characterized by intelligent, well-crafted, and unique plots with a strong momentum that keeps the suspense high right up until the very end.

PHOENIX NEW!

Format: Audiobook, E-book, Paperback


The wind is picking up ominously, and the waves are growing higher.


Archipelago guide Kina Bergsmed regrets not canceling the final guided tour of late autumn as the kayaks are repeatedly drenched by Mysingen’s icy waters. A black RIB boat approaches at high speed, and Kina sees a chance to get the group safely to shore—quickly.


But as soon as the boat slows and pulls up beside them, Kina realizes that the old tale is true. She senses that they will never make it to land. Moments later, the Södertörn police receive an urgent alarm.


Once again, the unexpected and the horrific have tightened their grip on the seemingly peaceful archipelago. Police Commissioner Ewald Wermelin, Ulrika Bigård, and Lars Bengtsson brace themselves for the worst. Nothing is as it seems. It’s worse.


A crime novel where an old legend comes to life—in the most terrifying way.


DEATH ANGEL

Format: Audiobook, E-book, Paperback

Archipelago guide Kina Bergsmed has been assigned to join the security team during ÖTILLÖ, the World Championship in Swimrun. Competitors must traverse 26 islands, from Sandhamn to Utö in the Stockholm archipelago.


When one of the athletes catches her attention near the southern part of Långbäling Island, Kina immediately senses that something is wrong. No competitor would voluntarily quit so close to the finish line. The marine police arrive swiftly, but the horror has already unfolded.


A race Kina Bergsmed will never forget. Ever.


A crime novel about the relentless pursuit of a goal—at any cost. But also a story of art’s pirates.

THE MENTOR

Format: Audiobook, E-book, Paperback


A boat is found adrift by archipelago guide Kina Bergsmed. On the deck lies a lifeless body.


Shortly afterward, divers documenting the water-filled mines on Utö make a horrifying discovery. Detective Inspector Ewald Wermelin and his colleagues from the Södertörn police race against time. Meanwhile, Kina visits the area near the discovery site on her own—but soon realizes she is being watched by a drone. When she later finds a YouTube video of the site, with herself as the main subject, she understands she must stay on high alert.


The Mentor is a gripping and timely thriller about gang crime and the forces that take control when revenge and fear reign supreme—all set against the deceptively idyllic backdrop of the Stockholm archipelago.
