Lena finds her husband, Adam, dead in bed, aged 62, in their summerhouse in Skillinge, Southern Sweden. They had argued the night before and had slept separately for the first time in their ten-year marriage. Shocked, she tries to manage her grief by investigating his past life before they met. It reveals many secrets that Lena knew nothing about. The search to uncover them brings with it a battle of wits to protect herself from mortal danger when she follows the trail back to where Adam had worked in Ivrea, Northern Italy
It is a compelling narrative that delves into the early life of a young woman, Signe, who was orphaned at age three. A love of Karate becomes a driving force in the pursuit of her dreams, but it also leads her to take some dangerous risks. The story is set in Ystad. Signature is a change of pace from my earlier work.
I published an adventure novel, “Old Violins”, in 2019. I was not happy with it, so I edited and extended it. The revised version is now available. In 2022, I extended the Skillinge series with, “Amnesia”, 2023 “Foggy Monday” and in 2024 “Retribution”
The novels begin and end in Skillinge. The main character, John Simson, is bravely but perhaps foolishly involved in a violent incident in Paris that disastrously follows him back to his quiet coastal village.
The four books in the Skillinge series follow one another, so to get the most from them, you need to read them in the order they were written.
