Två mördade tonårsflickor, ett försvunnet barn och en by full av hemligheter … Välkommen till Son.

Kari Voss är psykolog och bistår Oslopolisen i mordutredningar samtidigt som hon ihärdigt söker efter sin son som försvann spårlöst på sin födelsedag för sju år sedan. När två tonårsflickor hittas mördade i den närliggande byn Son kastas Kari in i en chockerande utredning. Snart åtalas en vän till offren för de brutala morden och fallet betraktas som avslutat, men Kari är inte övertygad.

Med hjälp av polisen Ramona Norum upptäcker hon att ingen – inklusive offren – är vad de verkar. Och att det finns en mörk hemlighet i hjärtat av byn som inte bara kan få konsekvenser för henne själv, utan även kasta nytt ljus över hennes sons försvinnande.

Son är en mörk deckare om de hemligheter som håller en by samman, och om hur långt man är beredd att gå för sina barn.

Thomas Enger är journalist och författare. Han har bland annat skrivit serien om Henning Juul tillsammans med medförfattaren Jørn Lier Horst. Han är en av de främsta frontfigurerna för nordic noir och har översatts till tjugoåtta språk. Han bor i Oslo.

Johana Gustawsson är en av Frankrikes mest ansedda och prisbelönta författare. Hon har bland annat fått motta det prestigefyllda La Ligue de l’Imaginaire för sin historiska thriller Yule Island. Hon bor i Sverige med sin familj.

***
"Författarduon skriver med ett ständigt, kraftfullt driv och skapar scener som är svåra att skaka av sig ... Det är en bok man inte lägger ifrån sig, och när man till slut gör det får man plocka upp hakan från golvet efter ett slut som knappast någon såg komma." Maria Näslund, GP
”En psykologisk nagelbitare! (…) En toppenstart på en ny serie.” Cecilia Gustavsson, Allers
”Romanen bygger på premissen att alla i det lilla samhället ljuger, vilket, tillsammans med författarnas förmåga att lämna villospår, ger den ett driv som lätt fångar in läsaren. Romanen ställer intressanta filosofiska frågor om identitet och minne som går utanför ramen för en vanlig deckare. Språket är precist och dialogerna känns trovärdiga. Ett behövligt inslag i nordic noir-genren som kommer att få många läsare.” Alan Pejkovic, BTJ-häftet

”En spännande berättelse med en galen twist. Son är allt, och mer därtill, man kan önska av en deckare. Bästa spänningsromanen 2025 hittills.” The Times UK

”Andlöst spännande” Daily Express, UK

”En hisnande deckare med en fantastisk intrig och ett slut som golvar dig. Helt enkelt briljant.” Express, UK

The island has kept its silence. Until now…As autumn deepens into darkness in Lidingö, on the Stockholm archipelago, the island is plunged into chaos: in the space of a week, two teenaged boys are murdered. Their bodies are left deep in the forest, dressed in white tunics with crowns of candles on their heads, like offerings to Saint Lucia.Maïa Rehn has fled Paris for Lidingö after a family tragedy. But when the murders shake the island community, the former police commissioner is drawn into the heart of the investigation, joining Commissioner Aleksander Storm to unravel a mystery as chilling as the Nordic winter.As they dig deeper, it becomes clear that a wind of vengeance is blowing through the archipelago, unearthing secrets that are as scandalous as they are inhuman.But what if the victims weren’t who they seemed? What if those long silenced have finally found a way to strike back?How far would they go to make their tormentors pay?And you – how far would you go?_______‘Haunting, human and wholly unputdownable … unforgettable characters caught in the web of a chilling mystery, set against the stark, mesmerising backdrop of Sweden. Few writers balance heart and horror so masterfully – this is Scandi Noir at its finest’ Thomas Enger'A shockingly cold slice of Scandi noir that combines the darkness of folk horror with a sharp-eyed exploration of consent’ Sarah Hilary‘Relevant and timely, Scars of Silence is compulsive whodunnit, with a strong and important message, tackling issues of great relevance in today’s world. Once I started reading, I couldn’t stop – utterly addictive’ Sam Holland‘Magnificent! So chilling and atmospheric … I was utterly gripped. Johana Gustawsson gets better and better with every book’ Lisa Hall‘A page-turner full of twists and turns, told with devastating tenderness; I felt bereft when it ended. Scars of Silence is a masterclass in Nordic Noir’ Heidi Amsinck‘Scars of Silence is incredible – powerful, timely, superb – with layers of emotion even in the darkness. Such a talent!’ Louise Swanson‘Gustawsson’s writing is so vivid, it’s electrifying’ Peter James‘One of the true stars of Nordic Noir … this top notch thriller displays a talent to disturb and fascinate’ CrimeTime‘Gustawsson masterfully weaves past and present, painting the Lidingö setting so vividly that we can almost feel the cold as the snow begins to fall – her storytelling is as chilling as it is compelling … this is crime fiction at its most human and haunting’ Nordic Watchlist

Det är en bok man inte lägger ifrån sig, och när man till slut gör det får man plocka upp hakan från golvet efter ett slut som knappast någon såg komma." Maria Näslund, GP”En psykologisk nagelbitare! (…) En toppenstart på en ny serie.” Cecilia Gustavsson, Allers”Romanen bygger på premissen att alla i det lilla samhället ljuger, vilket, tillsammans med författarnas förmåga att lämna villospår, ger den ett driv som lätt fångar in läsaren. Romanen ställer intressanta filosofiska frågor om identitet och minne som går utanför ramen för en vanlig deckare. Språket är precist och dialogerna känns trovärdiga. Ett behövligt inslag i nordic noir-genren som kommer att få många läsare.” Alan Pejkovic, BTJ-häftet”En spännande berättelse med en galen twist. Son är allt, och mer därtill, man kan önska av en deckare.
