Today marks the release of Control, the third instalment in Hurtig Wagrell’s innovative Kalmar Series, following the acclaimed debut Front and its sequel Risk. The book is published by Bokfabriken in Sweden.
In this nerve-racking finale, the line between reality and delusion begins to blur. Who can you trust? Can you even trust yourself? With suspense running through every page, Control masterfully weaves together gripping murder mysteries with sharp contemporary commentary, keeping readers guessing until the very end.
Has the hunter become the hunted? The world is crumbling beneath police commissioner Elisabeth Hallman’s feet. At the same time, it seems the psychopath Sanna Lundgren is back in Kalmar.
A night at the theatre ends in complete darkness for Elizabeth. The next morning, she wakes up with total amnesia, wearing new clothes and with sore hands that smell of cleaning products. At the same time, a man is found brutally stabbed to death. When the clues begin to point to her, a nightmarish hunt for the truth begins. Is she being followed, is she paranoid – or is she guilty?
