Now tensions in Fjallbacka increase as yet another young tourist disappears. Its repercussions split the family irrevocably leaving them feudal and feuding. At that time a well known local family, the Hults, were caught up in the investigation. When more bones are discovered with the body of the murdered girl, the case points to events of almost twenty-five years earlier when two young women were reported missing. Early one morning in a local beauty spot, a small boy discovers the dead body of a young woman and Patrik is recalled to take charge of the case. But whereas in that book Fjallbacka lay in the grip of winter, THE PREACHER places us in peak tourist season and the heat of midsummer.ĭetective Patrik Hedstrom is enjoying some quiet holiday time at home with his pregnant girlfriend Erica Falck. The setting for this book, the Swedish coastal town of Fjallbacka, remains the same as in Lackberg's crime debut, THE ICE PRINCESS. In Camilla Lackberg's crime novel THE PREACHER, Patrik Hedstrom is that most unusual of crime novel characters, a policeman with a happy home life.
