Rest in Peace

The luxurious Japanese spa Yasuragi just outside of Stockholm is a haven for the stressed-out inhabitants of the capital city. But when a famous actress is found unconscious in the women’s washing room, the serenity is broken. Shortly thereafter, an older couple are found dead in one of the hotel rooms.  At first glance, both incidents seem to be accidents. But when another person is found dead, this time in the warm springs outside the spa hotel, there is no denying that there must be a connection. 

The headstrong and fearless police detective Emma Sköld is put on the case and she soon realises that this is no ordinary investigation. Will she be able to find the murderer before he reaps another victim? 

Rest in Peace is the first book in the popular crime series about police detective Emma Sköld. The series has sold over 5 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 17 languages to date. 

Sofie Sarenbrant’s hugely successful crime series has been optioned by Breakable Films.
