Siren Song
Book 1 in the The Detective Lena Franke Series
A man hunting his girlfriend’s murderer
A soul trapped in hell
A detective trying to find them all
Detective Lena Franke at the Stockholm Police Department has a knack for solving crimes. But her methods are unpopular, most of her colleagues dislike her, and her violent past hangs over her every waking hour like a grim, unyielding shadow.
When a woman is brutally killed in the western suburbs, Lena’s life becomes even more complicated. The investigation seems straightforward, but soon turns more thorny and dangerous than anyone expects.
Lena chases the merciless murderer down Stockholm’s icy streets, but she’s running out of time and clues. And there’s more at stake than stopping a savage killer.
Because Lena is haunted by forces from beyond the veil of reality. Forces that hunger for her life — as well as her sanity.
Summer Nights

A serial killer in a peaceful suburb
A terrifying room buried in time
Lena Franke must find both
But the hunt might cost Lena her life
– or her sanity
When two people are murdered in a normally peaceful and sleepy suburb, Detective Lena Franke is roped in to find the killer, even though most of her colleagues consider her a liability.
There is no apparent motive, witnesses or trace, but a discovery near the house turns the case into a baffling mystery. And the murderer is only getting started.
Along with her meticulous and disciplined colleague, Lena races across Western Stockholm in search of clues. Before long, the hunt for answers reveals an dark enigma larger than anyone expects.
The mystery might push her over the edge — because some will do anything to make sure that the past stays quiet, and Lena soon begins to suspect that the killer isn’t her greatest problem.

However, finding a child in the region’s vast woodlands is harder than Lena expects. She quickly realises that the disappearance is more mysterious — and dangerous — than anyone imagined.
The missing child seems to be linked to an old crime that few in the tight-knit community are willing to talk about. The question is how.
