Missing

Translated by Anna Paterson

Can murder and mercy go hand in hand?

In The Grand Hotel, a homeless woman charms a businessman into paying for dinner and a room. When his dead body is discovered the following morning she becomes the prime suspect. When a second person is killed in similar circumstances, Sybilla, having left her comfortable middle-class upbringing for the anonymity of the streets, becomes the most wanted person in Sweden…

Missing is a gripping, multi-faceted thriller; more than a murder-hunt, it is also something more profound: an individual’s journey to self-awareness and hope.

Praise for Missing:

‘A first-class thriller.’

Tranas-Posten

‘A very powerful novel. Skilfully, very intimately and realistically, Alvtegen describes an individual living outside the margins.’

Helsingborgs Dagblad
