Femicide: the new shocking Scandinavian thriller (Vanessa Frank, 1)
Pascal Engman
SAGA Egmont
Vanessa Frank
Livre numérique
It seemed like an open-and-shut case. But they couldn’t have been more wrong.
When a 25-year-old woman is found dead in Stockholm, detective Vanessa Frank
knows that there is more to the case than meets the eye. And when Vanessa
finds herself on the trail of a dangerous internet community who call
themselves ‘incels’, her world starts to unravel. These ‘involuntarily
celibate’ men have fostered hatred towards the women who turn them down, and
now women are turning up dead. But can Vanessa prove the connection, and is
she ready to risk her life to do so? ‘Femicide’ is a heart-pounding scandi-
noir from the Swedish writer Pascal Engman, that scours the dark side of the
internet in a thriller that feels all too real. For fans of Jo Nesbo or Stieg
Larsson, this is an absolute must-read from the next generation of crime
writing. ‘It is one of the best Swedish crime novels I’ve read in years...
impossible to put down.’ - Camilla Läckberg, author of the Fjällbacka and
Faye series, with more than 26 million copies sold worldwide ‘It is
irresistible reading.’ - David Lagercrantz, author of The Girl in the Spider’s
Web - Millennium series by Stieg Larsson ‘Fresh, brilliant writing and utterly
compelling. I loved it.’ - Peter James, UK No.1 bestselling author of the
Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series 'He never lets go of the reader’s
desire to know just how the hell this is going to go' Fredrik Backman, best-
selling author of A Man Called Ove Praise for Femicide ‘It is one of the best
Swedish crime novels I’ve read in years... impossible to put down.’ - Camilla
Läckberg, author of the Fjällbacka and Faye series, with more than 26

Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series ‘[Pascal Engman] never lets go of
the reader’s desire to know just how the hell this is going to go.’ - Fredrik
Backman, best-selling author of A Man Called Ove ‘There is an incredible drive
in [Pascal Engman’s] prose, and a wonderful sense of dramaturgy. With a light
hand he throws you into his dramas. It is irresistible reading.’ - David
Lagercrantz, author of The Girl in the Spider’s Web - Millennium series by
Stieg Larsson ‘[Pascal Engman] has an amazing ability to constantly accelerate
the pace of the story. He absorbs the reader so you can’t stop reading.’ -
