Synopsis
The White Sea-Lady myth is said to be as old as the ancient Swedish island Gotland has been inhabited. It tells the story of a young bride who drowned on her wedding night and returns as a ghost to lure men into the watery depths. This legend resurfaces when a nurse is found murdered in a wedding dress. Detective Inspector Maria Wern investigates, but it becomes clear that the police are also under observation by a seemingly pervasive killer.

About the Author
Anna Jansson has established herself as one of Sweden's elite crime writers. Before becoming an author, she worked as a nurse and continues to do so part-time at Örebro Hospital's lung clinic. She holds frequent lectures on ethical issues related to medical care and has had several essays included in academic books related to health care. Jansson has three children and lives in Vintrosa outside of Örebro, Sweden.
Review
"In the portrayal of the conflict between work and love, duty and pleasure, guilt and hope, Jansson exceeds the conditions of life without abandoning the people who succumb beneath them.” Göteborgsposten, Swedish newspaper
"Probably the best book I’ve read by Anna Jansson, thrilling indeed." Norra Västerbotten, Swedish newspaper
"As always, Anna Jansson delivers good crime novels, some in the series are better than the others and Killer’s Island is doubtless among the best." Carola Lindström, Barnboksbloggen
"[Killer's Island] subsumes to the same genre as its forerunners: Disgusting violence, constant growing suspense, the focus on phenomena in the society and physcological explanations" Dalarnas Tidning, Swedish newspaper
"I've been watching the Maria Wern TV series, produced by Swedish television and broadcasted in the US by MhZnetworks, and have been waiting anxiously for some of Anna Jansson's books (on which the series is based) to appear in English translation." International Noir Fiction, blog
