Translated from the Swedish by Ken Schubert
Praise for Books by Åke Edwardson
“Edwardson is an
exceptionally gifted storyteller.” –
Henning Mankell
Margaret Cannon, The
Globe and Mail, on Edwardson’s Sail of Stone—
“Sail Of Stone, the sixth in the Detective Erik Winter series, set in Gothenburg, Sweden, is just
about as good as crime fiction gets. Edwardson
knows how to build character and develop a story…”
Death Angels
Death Angels is
the debut detective novel by the international best-selling author Åke Edwardson. This crime fiction series features Sweden’s youngest Chief Inspector – Erik Winter. When we meet Winter he is a bachelor, who
is fond of jazz and Lagavulin and a devoted follower of fashion. In Death Angels, Winter teams up with Scotland Yard’s Steve MacDonald to solve parallel killings of
young British and Swedish tourists. Death
Angels is set in the 1990s in London
and Gothenburg, and Åke Edwardson weaves
a complicated, suspenseful tale of murder that leads Winter and MacDonald into the dark, underground world of snuff films.
