A taut and blistering thriller with the most memorable protagonist ever. Christian Unge is in total control of his environment. It deserves to be huge. – Imran MahmoodMulti-layered and gritty with a strong emotional undercurrent - this is one to savour. – Susi HollidayChristian Unge describes the hospital environment better than anyone else in Sweden. Tekla is a scalpel-sharp character who delivers a massive shot of adrenalin. Unmissable. – Jens LapidusWatch your blood pressure! A tense and clever thriller. – Lilja SigurðardóttirElectrifying. * Crime Monthy. *
A gripping crime novel … fast-moving and packed with convincing detail and memorable characters … Tekla is a terrific character.
– Natasha Cooper * Literary Review *As gripping as it could be. Stressed-out, sleep-deprived and pill-popping Dr Tekla Berg is as unusual a centra character as you will find … An authentic and seriously exciting debut.
