Why a Booktrail?
2000s: The first episode in the Erik Winter novels
Death Angels (Erik Winter 1)
What you need to know before your trail
Erik Winter joins forces with his British counterparts after a series of brutal murders of young men in London and his own city of Gothenburg. The killer, dubbed Hitchcock, appears to have filmed the butchery, as evidenced by traces of a tripod stand in the victims’ blood.
The trail naturally leads into the seamy world of snuff films, but the big break comes from a burglar who noticed some blood-stained clothing in an apartment he broke into

Travel BookTrail style to Gothenburg and London
Gothenburg
Erik Winter’s home and stomping ground. Most of his novels are largely based here although some do head out to different parts of the world on his many assignments.
Gothenburg is a fine city for a cop like Winter. It’s the perfect background for Ake as well since he’s worked at Gothenburg University as a professor, as a journalist and as a press officer for the United Nations. Plenty of issues and complex situations to merge into fiction!
London
London is a key locations in this novel but it’s not the nicest view of the city. There’s plenty of visits to Soho and the dubious Walker Court which is described as ‘porn without the silk sheets.’ Men are being found murdered and the city shows the themes of the books as you get to see the dark corners, the dubious areas you wouldn’t normally go to. Having said that, there’s plenty of parks etc where you might go, but not with Erik Winter!
