The Debutant

Author Sandra Thulin has taken her own life. She leaves behind a devastated husband and two small children. When Sandra's father contacts police officer Elias Svensson and asks him to investigate the suicide, the case is reopened. Elias and Cornelia Lind start digging into Sandra's background and quickly notice that the façade Thulin’s family showed hid a more hurtful reality. But the police not only receive information about Sandra and her family. They also receive compromising information about Sandra's father that puts the investigation to an end.

 

The Debutant is the fourth part in the series about Elias Svensson and Cornelia Lind. It's a nerve-wracking thriller about greed, family relationships and power.

"The Debutant is a crime novel about how a psychopath can rule and ruin other's lives, but it's also about how meticulous and stubborn police investigation can lead to success in crime cases. The perspectives skillfully shift between characters, events and places while the suspense is staggering..." - BTJ, Library services no 17
