Synopsis

Un thriller historico repleto de intriga y suspense. La oscura luz del sol de medianoche se desarrolla bajo la abrasadora luz de un sol que ilumina los secretos mas ocultos. Autora galardonada este ano con el Premio a la Mejor Novela Historica de 2016 por la Asociacion Internacional de Escritores de Novela Historica. Suecia, 1855. El ministro de Justicia recibe un mensaje aterrador. Ha habido una masacre en una montana de Laponia. Uno de los nomadas Sami, los nativos de la region, aparentemente ha asesinado a sangre fria a un sacerdote, a un oficial y a un colono en la rectoria. El ministro envia a la zona a su yerno, un geologo, con la tarea de investigar lo acontecido. Pero hay otros motivos por los cuales visitar Blackåsen, un monte rico en depositos minerales que nunca han sido explotados, un lugar que esconde demasiados secretos. Pero Magnus no viajara solo. La hija del ministro, una mujer caprichosa caida en desgracia, le acompanara. De ese modo, Magnus y Lovisa comienzan su aventura, un viaje que les llevara de la tranquila Estocolmo a los salvajes paisajes del norte de Suecia, bajo la extrana y cautivadora luz del sol de medianoche.

From the acclaimed author of Wolf Winter comes a new historical crime novel with all the intrigue and atmosphere of Burial Rites and the suspense of The Tenderness of Wolves. Taking place a hundred years after the shocking events of Wolf Winter in the same haunting territory, The Midnight Sun is set in high summer, under the searing light of a sun that never quite sets.

Sweden, 1855. “Worst thing I ever saw...” The Minister of Justice has received a disturbing message. There’s been a massacre on one of Lapland's mountains: a priest, a law enforcement officer, and a local settler have been slaughtered by one of the indigenous Sami people. The murderer is in custody, but he refuses to talk. The Minister dispatches his son-in-law, a geologist, to investigate, as there is another reason to visit Blackåsen: it is a mountain with many secrets, a mountain whose rich mineral deposits have never been exploited. But Magnus does not journey alone. The Minister’s daughter, in disgrace, is sent with him.

The two unlikely companions venture out of the sweltering city to the wild landscape of Sweden’s far north under the strange, insomnia-inducing light of the midnight sun. There, the shocking truth they discover about the murders and what lies behind them will only be matched by what they discover about themselves. For Lovisa and Magnus—and for the people of Blackåsen—nothing will ever be the same again. In The Midnight Sun tells a riveting story of the collision of worlds old and new, and cements Ekbäck’s status as a master of Nordic noir.
