DI Jamie Johansson

When a teenage girl is found dead in the woods, her body posed like an angel, Stockholm holds its breath. The kill bears a chilling resemblance to those of the Angel Maker, a serial killer caught two decades ago... One who just died in prison. Detective Inspector Jamie Johansson is taking some much-needed time away from the London Met when the call comes in. Her father, one of Stockholm's most notorious detectives, caught the Angel Maker when she was just a girl, and Jamie has long since closed the door to that part of her life. But with the original case files missing, the threat of another kill looming, and her father's reputation at stake, Jamie is drawn back to the frozen streets of her hometown to finish what he started. Has a copycat emerged? Or did he catch the wrong man all those years ago?

Two bodies. One survivor. A chilling truth. Detective Jamie Johansson is finally finding normality in Stockholm when a phone call from her estranged mother draws her back to the UK. The bodies of two women have been discovered in the Brecon Beacons, badly beaten and buried shallow, and rumors of a trafficking ring are swirling. But when a crucial piece of evidence is accidentally destroyed, suspicion falls on those handling the case. The National Crime Agency seizes control of the investigation, but the local police hide a vital piece of information: there is a third victim. And she's still alive. Jamie is thrust into the middle of the storm, allying herself with a former partner to answer the ultimate question. Who wants this girl dead, and why? Jamie vows to protect her at all costs, but the killers are determined to finish the job, and will stop at nothing to silence her before she speaks. Who can Jamie trust to help uncover the truth? And will it be enough to save the girl, and herself, before they find them? As the last light of day begins to fade...darkness is coming for them all.

Rising Tide is the pulse-pounding new instalment in the DI Jamie Johansson series, and the terrifying follow-up to Angel Maker. DI Jamie Johansson is on loan to the Stockholm Polis when a chilling call for help comes in. The Bolstad B oil platform in the unforgiving Norwegian Sea is in total lockdown. The body of one of the crew was found brutally attacked and then hanged from a crane. And another is missing. But operations cannot stop. The fate of the drilling company hangs by a thread, a crew change is imminent, and tensions are reaching breaking point. Jamie and her new partner Anders Wiik are flown out to the platform with just five days to solve the crime, and a list of suspects unlike any they've dealt with. These people are scared, dangerous, angry, and they'll do anything to survive. Everyone just wants to go home, but as the switchover draws closer, more of the crew begin to disappear - one, by one, by one... The killer is playing their own twisted game, and Jamie and Wiik are out of their depth.

They took everything from her. Now she has nothing left to lose... With the scars of her last case still fresh on her skin, DI Jamie Johansson is piecing together a puzzle that's been buried for twenty years. It killed her father, and now she's determined to finish what he started and expose the corruption threaded through every street of Stockholm. When a series of violent incidents rock Jamie's fragile existence in Sweden, she's faced with a choice - drop the case, or have her loan to Stockholm Police terminated. Jamie must let go of everything she once believed in and call in all the favours she can to find a chink in the impenetrable armour of the shadowy Imperium Holdings.

Jamie wouldn't be the first determined detective they've silenced, but she may be the last. From gritty, blood-soaked city streets to desolate and deadly frozen tundras, this case will take Jamie all across Scandinavia in pursuit of the men responsible for shattering her life.

And she won't stop until she gets it.

When Jamie and Thorsen arrive in the quiet border town of Etterange, it doesn't take long for them to realise something isn't right. An inept twenty-six-year-old is running the polis station, there's been a spate of unreported missing persons, and there are rumblings of a strange community living out on the lake, shut off from the rest of the world. When Jamie and Thorsen discover a crash site on the road, they converge on a place known only as The Farm, hoping to find the missing Boehman family safe and sound. But with winter closing in, the nights freezing, the landscape untamed, and the animals that stalk it just as wild, Jamie and Thorsen will need to stick together if they hope to exhume the truth. But will that truth be enough? What secrets are hidden at the Farm? Where are the Boehmans? And is it already too late... to save them, to call for help, to get out alive?

What dreams may come... On the idyllic Swedish island of Gotland, another teenager is found dead. This makes 22 suicides in 17 months. Some knew each other, others didn't. There are no notes. No explanations. No reasons. Each new death rocks the island to its core, and everyone holds their breath for the next to be found... With the media ordered not to report on it, the police baffled, and the islanders looking desperately for someone, or something, to blame... chaos is imminent. Among the horror, a father whose daughter is missing searches frantically for answers. A journalism student chases the truth at all costs as fear and persecution grip her university. And a notorious detective is dragged out of exile to ask questions the police can't. Or won't... As terror takes root in every home and mind, and the death toll continues to rise, only one thing links the victims: a black heart, etched into their skin. What does it mean? And will it be enough to save the island before it tears itself apart?
