THE DEAD HAMLET

DÖDERTORP – THE DEAD HAMLET

By Thomas Engström

CRISES ARE PILING up for former star lawyer Erik Häll – and for the small town of Nybro in the heart of the Småland forests. The events set in motion barely a year earlier are having increasingly dramatic consequences for the entire community.

THE RESISTANCE OF CHRIST sect is hatching even bolder and more dangerous plans, whilst the Southern Sweethearts motorbike gang is preparing to retake their headquarters, The Witch’s Grove, at any cost. Landowner and veteran gangster Karl Wendt, as usual, has his own agenda. And which side will the mercenaries from the security firm EXPLCO end up on?

WHAT BEGAN FOR Erik as an infiltration mission soon begins to resemble full-scale preparations for war. As if that weren’t bad enough, he must now try to look after his son, the burnt-out journalist Ludvig – to say the least – who has just returned from Ukraine.

IN THE DEAD HAMLET, the sequel to The Devil’s Grounds and The Witch’s Grove, the wider world comes to Nybro – with a vengeance. But shame on any Smålander who gives up.
