THE WITCH’S GROVE

HÄXHULT – THE WITCH’S GROVE

By Thomas Engström

SMALL-TOWN LAWYER Erik Häll doesn’t have it easy. His siblings have evicted him from the family home in Nybro, and now he’s well on his way to being thrown out of his office as well. That’s when the cunning old landowner Karl Wendt appears and makes Erik an offer he simply can’t afford to refuse: to infiltrate the peculiar sect that in recent years has grown ever stronger in the area.

WENDT’S DAUGHTER YLVA has completely lost herself to this group, which goes by the name Christ’s Resistance. Their retreat, Witch’s Grove, lies secluded in the forests outside Nybro. There, the mysterious leader Ruben holds his teachings – and it is there Erik must eventually go to carry out the most dangerous mission of his life.

THE WITCH’S GROVE is the sequel to the acclaimed novel The Devil’s Grounds, from one of the great stylists of Swedish suspense literature, Thomas Engström.
