Der Nummer-1-Bestseller aus Schweden. Drei Morde innerhalb weniger Tage: Ein Heckenschütze hält die schwedische Kleinstadt Karlshamn in Atem. Vanja Lithner und ihr Team von der Reichsmordkommission stehen unter enormem Druck, denn es gibt weder Zeugen noch Verbindungen zwischen den Opfern, nur die Angst, dass weitere Morde geschehen. Kriminalpsychologe Sebastian Bergman, Vanjas Vater, hat das Team verlassen und arbeitet als Therapeut. Doch als ein Administrator ihn aufsucht, um seine Erlebnisse während des Tsunamis 2004 zu verarbeiten, reißen alte Wunden auf. Billy, Sebastians ehemaliger Teamkollege und Vanjas bester Freund, hat ein massives Problem: Seit er im Dienst zwei Menschen erschossen hat, findet er Gefallen am Töten. Nun wird er Vater und schwört, es nie wieder zu tun. Aber die Umstände wollen nicht zulassen, dass die Vergangenheit in Vergessenheit gerät.

Kary H. Lasch (1914 - 1993) was a Czech-born photographer who moved to Sweden in 1939 and whose international model scouting network was based in Stockholm. His photographic career spanned the 1950s through the 1980s, and he attended the Cannes Film Festival consecutively for over 30 years. He travelled widely, and is well known for his iconic images of Picasso, Dalí, Fellini, Sofia Loren, and Brigitte Bardot. Lasch was known to do anything to get a scoop on the best photos. In a famous instance, when Sofia Loren was on her way to Stockholm by train from Copenhagen in 1955, Kary picked up the train she was on in Copenhagen, bribed the concierge, and photographed her while she was dressing in the train car. When they arrived in the Stockholm Central Station, the Swedish press were competing for the best position for a picture while Sofia and Kary were looking out of the train window. This 3-volume set (Vol. 1: Famous; Vol. 2: Cannes; Vol. 3: Humorous), brings together works from the extensive Kary Lasch Collection, which contains more than 600,000 images.

While travelling through Japan in October and November of 1934, painter Leonard Tsuguharu Foujita made a charming booklet of colour drawings for his friend and travelling companion Eduardo de Arteaga. Foujita, Eduardo, and Foujita's wife Madeleine Lequeux journeyed together to Kobe, Kyoto, and the island of Itsukushima, popularly known as Miyajima. This book reproduces the delightful and previously unpublished sketches Foujita made for that trip, and recounts the story of the journey.
