After Box comes Cult – the second installment in Läckberg and Fexeus’ suspense series about the odd couple of investigators Vincent and Mina.
When a little boy goes missing from a preschool in Södermalm, Stockholm, police inspector Mina Dabiri and her colleagues are once again put to the test. They immediately find similarities with another child kidnapping, that ended really badly, and understand that they have to do with life-threatening forces. Everything points towards that more children will go missing. For the first time since the dramatical events two years before, Mina takes up the contact with the mentalist Vincent Walder. Their relationship is just as special now and he proves to be of use also in this investigation. But the clock is ticking and when the most unprotected become victims – who can save them?
Läckberg is a young (born 1974), very talented Swedish crime writer. She was voted Swedish Writer of the Year for 2005. Her books have so far sold in millions in Europe, where she was the 6th bestselling author last year, ahead of among others John Grisham. Her books – including The Ice Princess – feature an interesting couple – the police detective Patrik Hedstrom of the Tanumshede police and his wife, author Erica Falck.
Camilla Läckberg became a writer after her husband and parents enrolled her in a writing course as a Christmas present. She was Sweden’s best-selling author in 2006. The same year she also won the People’s Literature Prize. And The Ice Princess, very well translated by Steven T. Murray, was the winner of France’s 2008 Grand Prix de Littérature Policière for Best International Crime Novel. Even so, it is not her best book – Camilla Läckberg has developed a lot both as a plotter and as a writer over time, and her later books are even better than this.
