Lina Areklew is back with the fifth book in her Ulvö-series, Through Fire, published by Bazar in Sweden.

The smoke is heavy over the Ulvöhamn. After a violent house fire, forensic investigators find charred remains of a person who had been chained to a radiator. Investigator Sofia Hjortén and her colleagues from the Örnsköldsvik police are called to the scene to investigate the arson-murder. The stakes rise when they discover someone is missing—a seven-year-old boy.

Meanwhile, Fredrik Fröding is struggling to balance life as a single parent to a young child and his new role as a police officer. His search for answers about what happened to his brother Niklas on the night of the Estonia disaster intensifies, and he finally finds a new lead.

Through Fire is the fifth installment in Lina Areklew’s popular The High Coast series. A poignant suspense novel about what happens when someone is excluded from the community, about what a parent is willing to do for the right to their child, and how far one can go for revenge.
