Pascal Engman

It seemed like an open-and-shut case. But they couldn’t have been more wrong. 

When a 25-year-old woman is found dead in Stockholm, detective Vanessa Frank knows that there is more to the case than meets the eye. And when Vanessa finds herself on the trail of a dangerous internet community who call themselves ‘incels’, her world starts to unravel. 

These ‘involuntarily celibate’ men have fostered hatred towards the women who turn them down, and now women are turning up dead. But can Vanessa prove the connection, and is she ready to risk her life to do so?

‘Femicide’ is a heart-pounding scandi-noir from the Swedish writer Pascal Engman, that scours the dark side of the internet in a thriller that feels all too real. For fans of Jo Nesbo or Stieg Larsson, this is an absolute must-read from the next generation of crime writing.

Death whispers through Stockholm once more...

When two dead bodies appear in a park in Stockholm - a policeman and an unidentified young woman - the police focus solely on the murder of the officer, believing the woman to be nothing more than collateral damage.

But Detective Vanessa Frank senses something lurking beneath the surface and as she delves deeper, her investigation becomes alarmingly personal, leading her toward a real terror threat...

Treading carefully, Vanessa must now navigate a society paralyzed by the dread of terrorism to unravel the truths about the terrorist networks that operate deep in the shadows... 

A fast-paced Scandi-noir that delves into a frighteningly current threat to our society, "The Widows" is the second standalone novel to feature Detective Vanessa Frank.

For fans of Jo Nesbo or Stieg Larsson, this is an absolute must-read from the next generation of crime writing.
