Vanished?
Stockholm
Sleuth Series Book 1
“He
could only hope he’d get out of here in one piece.”
To
come to terms with his recent divorce, Martin, an attorney in Berlin,
plans a peaceful vacation – two weeks in a Swedish summer house
seem to be the solution. It won’t be peaceful, however, and those
two weeks will change his life forever. He takes a liking to Liv, a
Swedish woman whom he meets in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, they
don’t get to have their first date – Liv disappears under
mysterious circumstances. Martin begins his search but soon realizes
he can’t find Liv in a foreign country by himself. He hires two
private investigators, and their discoveries make everything seem
even stranger.
The
complexities in this suspenseful criminal case lead to a hunt across
Sweden. Martin comes close to finding answers, but his search lands
him in very real danger, eventually leading to the first deaths. Soon
he‘s wondering if he can get Liv and himself out of this situation
alive.

Elin raised both hands in defense. “Stop
worrying! Under no circumstances do I want anything to happen to you. But it
bothers the hell out of me that they could get away with this intimidation act
so easily. In my view, our best move would be to bring in the police. They’d
definitely find something interesting here—if only I knew what it was.”
“Thanks, but I really have no interest in dealing
with the police. You know how overworked they are. And since nothing serious
happened to me, I can imagine what priority they would give this incident.
Also, if these guys ever caught wind that the police were involved, they’d get
in their heads to make good on their threat. I really don’t need that, thank
you very much.”
“Yeah, I know. But this situation doesn’t exactly
feel safe, either. I mean, how do we know that they’ll leave us in peace, even
if we just lay low? Think about it. You run across one of these guys by chance.
You don’t even recognize him, but he alerts the others, and there you are again
with a knife at your throat.”
Maja looked at Elin in horror. “Do you have to be
so graphic? I’ve got chills running down my spine.”
“Sorry.”
“You’re right, though. It’s still a risk. Let me
see how I cope with it. Ask me again in a few days—maybe I’ll change my mind.
But please do not do anything without my consent! This thing concerns me now,
too. You can’t make the decisions on your own.”
“All right, Scout’s Honor. I’ll discuss
everything with you beforehand.”
Elin could easily understand Maja’s point. And
she would keep her promise. On the other hand, her detective instincts had been
aroused, and she wondered what lay behind this thing. Just what sort of plot
were they hatching in that cabin?
Elin rose and walked to the window. She looked
down at the entryway to the house on the other side of the street. There was no
one there.
“At least, they seem to have called off their
surveillance. I don’t see anyone there.”
“Sounds good. That’s something, anyway.” Maja
made no effort to check Elin’s observation but instead went straight to the
kitchen. “I need to eat something now. And a glass of wine would also be good.
Now that I think about it, more like several glasses.”
That was something Elin could fully endorse.
Right now, a little normalcy and relaxation were just what they both needed.
The
author grew up in the North of Germany, Schleswig-Holstein. Today, he
lives together with his family in Stockholm, Sweden, where he works
as management consultant.
Already
for ages he has been a great fan of crime stories and therefore, had
the desire to write his own crime story with the characters acting in
Sweden. This crime-fiction is now available under the title
"Vanished?".
The
crime novel starts at a slower pace - like Martin's holidays, but the
tension goes up more and more. It comes to a number of surprising
turns giving new impulses to the story. Apart from that, the lovely
country Sweden is described with the view of a foreigner.
