Frozen Tracks




Another chilling Erik Winter thriller from award-winning master of Swedish crime, Åke Edwardson.

It's autumn in Gothenburg and an anxious mother calls the police: her little boy was lured into a car by a man offering sweets. The child is returned unharmed but then the same thing happens with a little girl, and then another. Each child attends a different nursery, and each parent contacts a different police station, so, at first, no connection is established and the reports are filed and then forgotten.

Meanwhile DCI Winter is investigating a series of random attacks on strangely uncooperative university students, but when a a four-year-old boy is abducted and found injured, the forgotten files resurface and a link between the stories becomes apparent. As Gothenburg prepares for Christmas, Winter is in a race against time to prevent a horrific catastrophe.

Praise for Frozen Tracks

Accomplished...Ewardson shows his skill both in the succinctly characterised coppers and a nicely labyrinthine plot...the narrative has all the fastidious craft of the best crime writing

Independent

Åke Edwardson's series about a colourful, troubled young detective provide a large ration of suspense

Chicago Tribune

Edwardson's style... reminded me of P D James or Ruth Rendell
