LOCKBETET – THE BAIT
By Caroline Grimwalker & Leif Grimwalker
“But why here in fucking December? Haven’t we had enough shit in this little town? We must have a worse body count in this district than fucking El Salvador?”
THE WAVE OF violence in December never seems to slow down. When several women are found murdered in town, strangled with their nylon stockings, Kim Cordell immediately realizes that there is a copycat killer on the loose. Sixteen-year-old Zadie is kidnapped and held captive by men who exploit her. Zadie’s mother embarks on a relentless hunt to find her before it’s too late. And nothing is more dangerous than a desperate, armed mother of a teenager…

REVIEWS
The authors have masterfully created a work that keeps the reader in its grip from beginning to end – or rather, from beginning to next beginning, because nothing in the series really ends when each book ends. […] Death In December has an almost magical ability to keep curiosity alive, and you never feel satiated – rather, you become hungrier with every page. The language is well balanced, with an intensity that matches the ever-increasing tension. […] A word of warning, though: once you start reading, it will be difficult to put down. So make sure you have plenty of time – because you won’t want to do anything else until you’ve made your way through the entire series.
– Vi som älskar ljudböcker
[Grimwalker & Grimwalker] are incredibly skilled, and when I read the Death In December books, it sometimes feels as if I have fallen into a sinkhole. Time and space disappear, and only I and the inhabitants exist. One thing that stands out is the language, which is something out of the ordinary.
