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.
