BESTSELLER

By Pascal Engman

How far is an author willing to go to write a bestseller? Pascal Engman stays close to home in his sharpest thriller yet. 

Thriller author Raymond Salinas is found murdered outside his home. He was on his way to the Gothenburg book fair. Vanessa Frank soon discovers that Raymond’s research helped him form deep rooted connections with criminal networks, both in Sweden and abroad. The police realise that several people could benefit from the author being dead.

But Vanessa suspects that the motive is hidden in Salinas’ upcoming book project, where it’s possible he has uncovered something more shocking. To find the answers she must follow in the steps that led the author straight to his death. How far is an author willing to go to create a bestseller?
