Sara, The Giver, Southwest of the Archipelago and The Invisible Thief
Mats I Lundgren has written a series of four crime novels set in Nyköping and its surroundings. He made his debut in the autumn of 2015 with "Den som ger" (The Giver), which was nominated for the Selma Prize. The sequel, "Sara," was released in the autumn of 2017 and was also nominated for the Selma Prize.
The books revolve around Arne Olofsson and his colleagues at the Nyköping Police Department. The stories take place in the present day, and Mats blends a light-hearted tone with profound seriousness, writing suspenseful stories without being overly violent. To achieve a high level of credibility, Mats places great emphasis on research and has spent many hours interviewing police officers and doctors.
The Blue Line Chronicles consist of “Sara”, “The Giver”, “Southwest of the Archipelago” and “The Invisible Thief”. Please note that the order will be changed for the global market with Sara as book number one and The Giver as book number two. They have been re-written especially for the global market.
