The Babysitter

When police detective Emma Sköld wakes up at the hospital, she has no idea what has happened. The last thing she remembers is leaving her 4-week-old daughter with her boyfriend Kristoffer to go to the horse stable.  

Emma soon finds out that she has been in a coma for five months after a riding accident. While Emma has been unconscious, Kristoffer’s ex-girlfriend Hillevi has taken the role as a substitute mother – a role she is not too keen on giving up.  

Emma has a feeling that something is not right, and she desperately tries to bring back memories from the accident. As time goes by, she gets more and more convinced that a crime has been committed. But why would anyone want to hurt her? 

As long as Emma is at the ICU, the security is rigorous. But when she is moved to another ward, anyone can get close to her. 

The Babysitter is the fourth 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.
