Second Wind

Stockholm Marathon has always been spared from deaths among its runners. But when the gun goes off for the 35th edition of the race, this is about to change.  

It is the 4th of July, but colder than Christmas Eve. As the marathon starts, a man falls down and his life cannot be saved. Shortly thereafter, the lifeless body of a woman is found by the water. It soon becomes apparent that foul play was involved and that the woman has fallen victim to a murderer.

Police detective Emma Sköld is off duty and is at the marathon to cheer on her sister, but her plans are abruptly interrupted as she is pulled in the investigation. Is there a killer among the runners? And if so, when will the next victim turn up? 

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

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