Your Time Will Come

Item no. CA649130084

Vallgren, Carl-Johan

Winner of the Swedish Crime Academy's award for Best Swedish Crime Novel 2024. Falkenberg 1993. An unknown girl is found dead in a watercourse in the border areas between Halland and Småland. She has likely been held captive, but the other clues are difficult to interpret. Commissioner Björling is from the area, Johanna is an investigator from the National Criminal Police, and together they begin to collaborate on the investigation. But both are affected by events they would rather not talk about. He has just become a widower, she carries scars from her upbringing and has now returned to the place she fled shortly before graduation. Then Björling's daughter disappears during a camping trip with her boyfriend – and everything comes to a head. "Your Time Will Come" is Carl-Johan Vallgren's atmospheric return to the novel, an existential crime story from one of our great storytellers. "Linguistic beauty, sorrow, and tension in the best Vallgren combination could very well be one of the year's best experiences in the genre." SKÅNSKA DAGBLADET "In 'Your Time Will Come' he finds a new, warm intensity, with a tight suspense story and a language that oscillates between stripped-down concreteness and painfully beautiful formulations. It is rare to have to reread passages in a crime novel just for the linguistic beauty, but you actually have to here." DAGENS NYHETER "Vallgren writes better than most and creates scenes that vibrate with presence - and pain." GÖTEBORGS-POSTEN "Everything is carried forward by Carl-Johan Vallgren's language, with its empathetic character sketches, sensitive depictions of nature, and shifts between moods and perspectives. It is black. Pitch black. An existential darkness with questions about human drives and the ability to inflict pain and death. And about grief, which eats its way to the bone and chews with small sharp teeth. But here there is also a quietly shining tribute to love. And hope, which is there, despite everything."
