Today marks the release of Johanna Ginstmark’s new thriller Cloudburst. The novel is the third part of The Österlen Files, where Ginstmark continues to explore the effects that trauma and secrets have on people. The book is published by Polaris.
Steel-grey clouds hang heavy over Österlen when Göran Danielsson is arrested for murder. The realisation that, during his thirty years as a police inspector, he made a conscious decision every day to protect the Dalsgård family hits him hard. The question is whether he is prepared for the consequences that arise when he does what he should have done from the very beginning.
Inspector Maria Larsdotter’s decision to arrest her former colleague is not taken lightly, but it becomes the irrevocable starting point for a series of events that together escalate and take her deeper into the trenches, where resistance erupts and threats against her increase.
