Magnus Montelius is back with the thrilling novel The Border
Magnus Montelius is finally back after the success with The Man From Albania and Eight Months. This fall his new book: The Border.
David Lithander has no difficulty in identifying the two men who were found tortured to death in a warehouse in Frihamnen, Stockholm. He is their common denominator. A summer behind the Iron Curtain, a mission that he never asked for and then there is all that with Ágnes – the events he had been ordered never to mention to anyone.
Now both the police and the stubborn journalist Natalie Petrini wants to know what he did there and who in fact pulled the strings. The problem is that David Lithander doesn’t even know himself.
The Border will be published October 16th 2024.
