The Gallows Bird - Lackberg, Camilla

The new psychological thriller from No 1 bestselling Swedish crime sensation Camilla Lkberg. Detective Patrik Hedstrom and his colleagues at Tanumshede police station have had a quiet winter. But as the season turns the peace is shattered: a local woman is found dead, apparently a victim of a tragic car accident. But when another similarly inexplicable accident occurs, and connections are found with other unsolved murders, it becomes clear there's a serial killer on the loose. At the same time the police have their hands full with other matters. A reality TV show is being produced in the town and with the cameras filming their every move relations soon become strained between the 'stars' and the local population. Patrik is troubled by the case. And with a wedding to organize, and Erica's sister Anna and her children to take care of, he's under a lot of pressure. What is the connection between the victims and how can they stop the killer before it's too late?
