Crime/Thrillers

Eva, a dynamic young working mother, is forced to reassess her marriage when her husband's apathy can no longer be ignored. When she discovers he's been having an affair with her son's day-care teacher, grief and rage drive her into vengeful action.

Fate leads her to Jonas, an isolated young man who for the past two years has been keeping vigil beside his comatose girlfriend. Burdened with his own sinister history of betrayal and his quest for acceptance, he sees a chance to start afresh with Eva - but their union has frightening consequences.

A taut, suspense-filled novel from Sweden's hottest young crime writer, Betrayal exposes the pain of deception and how our own destructive behaviour can lead to consequences far beyond our control.
