Bezčasí – Sund Erik Axl (2023)

Another chilling and suspenseful thriller from the acclaimed author duo is a story about identity and what happens when we step outside our roles and venture beyond our environment and even time itself. Is it even possible? Or are we hopelessly bound by our material circumstances? A young girl jumps onto a freight train in northern Sweden and ends up in Stockholm. During a fight, she is arrested, and an investigation begins to uncover her identity. The case is taken up by police officers Jeanette Kihlberg, Jimmy Schwarz, and Nils Ahlund, and it soon becomes clear that this is no simple matter. The girl's presence is linked to two murders in the suburbs, and with each new lead, the already tangled web of facts becomes even more complicated. At the same time, the launch of the latest novel by writer Per Qviding is taking place, telling the story of a girl who grew up in northern Sweden at the end of the 19th century and, due to famine, is forced to emigrate to the United States. Qviding's novel intertwines with the ongoing investigation, and the parties involved find themselves in a dramatic race against time.
