Strandmoord
‘Als je van Stieg Larsson houdt, probeer dan eens een veel betere Zweedse schrijver.’ – The Observer ‘Spannend van begin tot eind, als je geïnteresseerd bent in mensen, relaties en geschiedenis is Strandmoord een kleine schatkamer.’ – Stavanger Aftenblad Op een verlaten strand van Öland legt een man een rozenkrans neer, kort daarna komt hij om in een abrupte rotsverschuiving. Politiecommissaris Tilda Davidsson start een onderzoek naar deze mysterieuze dood. Onder de krans ontdekt ze botresten van een man die voor het laatst levend is gezien in gezelschap van de 86-jarige schipper Gerlof, een familielid van Tilda. Al snel blijkt de moord op het strand nog maar het begin… Johan Theorin (Zweden, 1963) wordt door zijn unieke stijl en talent voor vertellen beschouwd als een van de belangrijkste misdaad- en thrillerauteurs van Scandinavië. Zijn veelgeprezen Öland-serie bracht Theorin internationaal succes bij pers en publiek. De serie heeft meerdere prestigieuze prijzen gewonnen. Strandmoord is het vijfde deel in deze serie.

Berättelser i svart
Och ser du, en natt drev det mig åter att planlöst ströva genom Kleinstadts tysta gator...Ingenstans i världen är det så hemskt som i denna stadsdel.Man viker in på en gata och ser endast ett dött mörker, då sticker ur en fönsterspringa en spöklik ljusstråle en plötsligt som en lång elak nål i pupillerna.Ur mörkret dyker ett hus upp -- med avbrutna skuldror och bakåtlutande panna och stirrande medvetslöst som ett slaktat djur ur tomma vindskupor upp mot natthimlen.Och går man över de ojämna gatstenarna och ser sig plötsligt om, skulle man kunna hålla vad om, att ett svampigt, likblekt ansikte stirrat efter en om hörnet -- inte i vanlig axelhöjd -- nej, långt nedanför, där endast stora hundar har huvudet.Här samlas nio sällsamma berättelser av äldre och nutida författare. Klassiska namn som Edgar Allan Poe, William Hope Hodgson och Gustav Meyrink har en plats i varje finsmakares bokhylla. Men dessutom ges stort utrymme åt svenska förmågor, bland dem vår kanske främste författare av "weird tales" -- Sven Christer Swahn.En bok att läsa med öppet sinne och utan föreställningen att skräckfyllda berättelser måste vara blodiga och osubtila. Ty "varelserna som stapplar omkring i natten" är ju mest skrämmande så länge vi inte ser dem...
