Niklas Natt och Dag takes the contemporary Scandinavian crime story and gives it a startlingly gruesome historical twist. Set in 1794, a young nobleman, Eric Three Roses, languishes in a hospital, plagued by guilt over the death of his bride on their wedding night. Her mother, desperate for answers, turns to Jean Mickel Cardell, a one-armed watchman, when no one else will listen. Meanwhile, Cecil Winge, now deceased, has left behind a mystery that his younger brother Emil seeks to unravel by retrieving a missing pocket watch. Cardell enlists Emil’s help, but soon realizes the younger Winge may be more of a hindrance than an ally. As they dig deeper, they uncover the involvement of a mysterious slave trader in Three Roses' affairs, prompting a race against time to uncover the truth. This second installment of Natt och Dag's historical noir trilogy reunites readers with Cardell, Anna Stina Knapp, and the vibrant yet dark world of late eighteenth-century Stockholm, where the façade of splendor begins to crumble, revealing the sinister elements lurking in the shadows. The author, a member of Sweden's oldest noble family, brings a rich historical backdrop to this gripping tale.
