Master, Liar, Traitor, Friend

Charles Levin, Detective Leo Junker's mentor - and the same man who betrayed Leo - is dead. Now Leo must find out why. He must follow the thread of the dead man's own tragedies, which will lead inexorably to the betrayal of Charles Levin's soul - and the soul of his nation. Inspired by a string of scandals and murders that rocked Sweden in the 1980s, particularly the killing of journalist Cats Falck, Christoffer Carlsson tells his own chilling version of what happened in those dark days.PRAISE FOR CHRISTOFFER CARLSSON'It's skillfully accomplished, [] Carlsson is, also this year, one of the most original and interesting Swedish authors writing in the genre.' Sydsvenskan'A multi-layered book with a complex intrigue, but above all a beautiful, well-written and plaintive book about Sweden, about betrayal, shortcomings and atonement.' Dagens Nyheter
