No. 1 international bestseller and Swedish crime sensation Camilla Lackberg's new psychological thriller featuring Detective Patrick Hedstrom and Erica Falck - irresistible for fans of Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo.
YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE PAST
Easter 1974. A family vanishes from their home on an idyllic island off the Swedish coast. They have left everything behind - including their one-year-old daughter, Ebba.
Now, years later, Ebba has returned to the island. She and her husband have suffered the loss of their only child and are looking to make a fresh start. But within days, their house is the target of an arson attack.
YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE FUTURE
Detective Patrik Hedstrom takes on the investigation, aided by his wife, crime writer Erica Falck, who has always been fascinated by the mystery of Ebba's abandonment and the family's tragic history.
When dried blood is found under the floorboards of the old house, it seems that the cold case involving the missing family is about to be brought back to life. And soon, Patrik and Erica are consumed by the hunt for a killer who will stop at nothing to keep the past buried...

Camilla Lackberg is my favourite Scandinavan crime writer. She has sold over 12 million copies world wide and her novels have been translated into 37 languages. Camilla's first novel The Ice Princess became a 'word of mouth ' novel with readers raving about it to their friends. Buried Angels' plot begins in 1974 when a family vanishes without a trace leaving only one year old Ebba. Are they victims of crime or have they voluntarily disappeared? Years later, Ebba returns to the house with her husband. The couple have barely settled in when there is an attempt to set fire to the house and what is exposed from this attempt creates a riveting story that captivates your attention. You don't have to read her eight titles in order. Read one and you will be hooked. Buried Angels is Lackberg at her creative best.
