Gingerbread House

Product Description

In a short space of time several bestial murders occur in central Stockholm. When criminal investigator Conny Sjoberg & the Hammarby police begin to suspect that theres a link between the murders Sjoberg goes completely cold. There is a killer out there whose motives are very personal & who will not be deterred. The Gingerbread House by Carin Gerhardsen is the first in the Hammarby series thrillers with taut suspenseful plots & unexpected twists & turns. This haunting novel explores schoolyard bullying among young children & the effect it has on them when people look the other way. Many of the scenes in this book are self-experienced & based on Gerhardsens own childhood. Urban settings & strong portraits of authentic characters are crafted in depth & detail insuring the books will linger in the readers mind long after the finish. The Gingerbread House is written in the same tradition as the Sjowall / Wahloo crime novels & has been described as a book version of the tv series The Wire. It is not only published by the same publisher as Stieg Larssons The Millennium Trilogy but by the same editorial team.
