THE PREACHER

SYNOPSIS | EXTRACT

In the fishing community of Fjällbacka, life is remote, peaceful – and for some, tragically short. Twenty years ago, two young holidaymakers disappeared. Now a young boy out playing has discovered the grim truth; their remains, and the body of a fresh victim.

Detective Patrik Hedström, expecting a baby with his girlfriend Erica, can only imagine what it is like to lose a child. When a second young girl goes missing, he turns his attention to the Hults, a feuding clan of misfits, religious fanatics and criminals. The suspect list is long but time is short – which of this family's dark secrets will provide the vital clue?
