After a long-awaited return, Carin Gerhardsen’s bestselling Hammarby Series is back with Playing With Fire, written in collaboration with Victor Pavic Lundberg.

When a ferocious fire erupts at a school, police officer Conny Sjöberg is thrown straight into the heart of the action. The attack marks the beginning of a violent hunt for a serial arsonist, while the depleted team at Hammarby Police Station is also faced with the murder of a seemingly innocent man found in a cellar. As the investigations unfold, the question of whether the cases are connected becomes increasingly urgent.

Meanwhile, Chief of Police Hedvig Gerdin is forced to take extraordinary measures to prevent a highly dangerous man from being released from prison, forming a secret team within the team and putting their own safety at risk.

Playing With Fire is the first instalment in a new trilogy and reunites readers with the familiar Hammarby characters, while opening a new chapter in the series.

Early readers have already responded enthusiastically to the return.

“Exciting from beginning to end. 5/5”

“A real page-turner. 4/5”

A gripping return to the world of the Hammarby Police – and the start of a new trilogy by Carin Gerhardsen and Victor Pavic Lundberg.
