SynopsisLike his fellow countryman Henning Mankell, ke Edwardson is a successful figure on the international mystery scene and a brilliant discovery for lovers of intricate, psychologically charged, and stylish crime novels. With Sun and Shadow , Edwardson introduces readers to detective Erik Winter, the youngest chief inspector in Sweden, who wears sharp suits, cooks gourmet meals, has a penchant for jazz, and is about to become a father. He's also moody and intuitive, his mind inhabiting the crimes he's trying to solve. In this atmospheric, heart-stopping tale, Winter's troubles abound--and a bloody double murder on his doorstep is just the beginning., What greets Chief Inspector Winter and his team when they arrive at a crime scene appears as a stage setting, grotesquely symbolic in its composition. While Winter trawls ads in men's magazines in search of the suspect, a trail from the clues left by the killer leads into the cult world of the gothic, a riddle of nightmares, of good versus evil, of sun and shadow., Like his fellow countryman Henning Mankell, Åke Edwardson is a successful figure on the international mystery scene and a brilliant discovery for lovers of intricate, psychologically charged, and stylish crime novels.

  • A little bit boring

    I usually like the Nordic crime stories, but this is a bit slow. It is nice when a writer goes into details about the various persons but in this case Eric Winters' details overshadow the storyline. Too much information that isn't really relevant. This was the first novel I read with him as an detective, maybe if I would have started with the first one, I may change my mind, but I didn't, so this was just okay.
