Gerda Persson has lain dead for three days. Her life seems to have been quite ordinary. Until the freezer in her home is opened. It is full of books, neatly stacked and wrapped in clingfilm, a thick layer of ice covering them - all by the same prize-winning author, all with handwritten dedications to Gerda.

What story do these books have to tell? And what is their connection to a young boy found abandoned in an amusement park? Shadow is an utterly compelling novel of dark family secrets, murder and betrayal, which will keep you gripped until its final thrilling revelations.

Industry Reviews

* Alvtegen's chilling novels are head and shoulders above most of the Scandi crew and...remind one forcefully of the early Barbara Vine novels. ... [Shadow] won't make you feel good about humankind, but it will keep you reading under the duvet during the small hours. -- Carla McKay The Daily Mail * A truly irresistible read. Skanska Dagbladet * Karin Alvtegen has become one of the greatest in the genre referred to as the psychological thriller ... Shadow is ... an excellent novel, suspenseful and intelligent and exceptionally well written. Eskilstuna-Kuriren * Shadow is a classic Alvtegen novel - but with 'extra everything' ... Like in her previous novels, Alvtegen moves aptly and confidently between odd characters and 'normal people', ordinary, everyday situations and disastrous moments ... Once you've been properly sucked into the story, you are lost. Ostgota-Correspondenten * Karin Alvtegen in brilliant shape ... I read without stopping and with mounting excitement to see how Karin Alvtegen will tie it all together in the end. As the pro she is, she manages to to do just that, and the story builds up towards its dramatic and entirely unexpected denouement ... Karin Alvtegen's new novel offers nearly four hundred pages of pure suspense. Jonkopings-Posten
