HER SECRET TO KEEP

EN LITEN LÖGN – HER SECRET TO KEEP

By Camilla Sten

A silent witness, a deadly past. Every family has secrets. This one kills.

MINERVA WREDE BECAME infamous at the turn of the millennium when she opened her Djursholm villa to a group of artists and bohemians. Whispers spread that they were witches – a rumor that intensified when Minerva’s husband was found dead on a midsummer morning. The media speculated that Minerva herself had killed him, but the police eventually closed the investigation.

MORE THAN TWO decades later, it is Minerva who is found dead under mysterious circumstances – and the only witness is her eleven-year-old granddaughter, Elina, who refuses to say a word.

CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGIST REBECCA Lekman is in the midst of a marital crisis when she is called to the villa in Djursholm. Her job is to help Elina tell her story, and she does her best to earn the girl’s trust. But the longer Rebecca remains in the house, the stronger she senses that something is wrong. What did Elina really witness that night? What caused her mother Iris to disappear without a trace? And what truly happened twenty years earlier, when the artists’ collective came to a sudden and sinister end?

HER SECRET TO KEEP is the third standalone instalment in Camilla Sten’s atmospheric series about criminal psychologist Rebecca Lekman, blending psychological tension, emotional depth, and a haunting sense that the past never truly lets go.
