Professor Hans Rekke and Micaela Vargas have earned a reputation for solving the unsolvable. But they’ve never been confronted by a serial killer.

That changes when Rekke receives a visit from Spanish chief inspector Rafael Corales, who is unable to forget the unsolved murder of a young woman in Santander in 1988. Now other bodies have come to light, marked with signs that seem to be some kind of numerical order.

Still recovering from his latest hypomanic episode – his relationship with Vargas strained by a secret she’s keeping – Rekke agrees to help track down the killer.

Clues from a posthumously published short story by the victim draw him undercover into the murky world of Sweden’s literary scene – authors, agents and producers who are past masters at selling a lie. To unmask the killer, Rekke must relearn the difference between fact and fiction, and discover what really happened that night in Santander in 1988.

“Great credit must go to Giles’s translation. The key to humour is timing and that’s easily lost in another language. Not so here. There’s a real snap to the sentences; the punchlines fall just where they need to; and the comic possibilities afforded by punctuation and paragraphing are well exploited.” George Cochrane in The Telegraph

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER AND WINNER OF THE AUGUST PRIZE 2023 – now in paperback from Penguin Books.

Christmas, 1983. In the aftermath of yet another furious argument, seven-year-old Andrev’s mother lets him in on a secret: his father is, in fact, not his father. And so begins a new kind of childhood, in which fathers come and go, arriving in red Volvos and sweeping his mother off her feet. Fathers can be magicians or murderers, artists or canoe enthusiasts, and, like growing pains, or the weather, they appear uninvited and leave without warning. Fathers are drawn to his mother like moths to a flame – but even she can’t control how they behave.

Vivid and joyful, raw and tender, Bloody Awful in Different Ways is a novel about growing up in the chaos of social change; about how love begins and ends; and above all, about men. Because after all, you learn an awful lot about this strange species when you have seven fathers in seven years.

An unnatural fog, lingering for weeks, has settled over the Stockholm archipelago, home to twelve-year-old Tuva. No one can explain it. Tuva, attuned to the mysteries of the sea, has her suspicions.

When her classmate and his mother nearly drown in the damp, choking fog, Tuva seeks answers about its supernatural nature. And the truth she uncovers is more wondrous—and sinister—than she could have imagined.

All the while, a hauntingly familiar voice calls for Tuva, pulling at the ties that bind her to the supernatural world, trying to draw her in. But are the powers that Tuva possesses enough to save the world from this true evil lingering in its midst?
