Johan Theorin
"As the last snow melts on the Swedish island of Oland, Per Morner is preparing for his children's Easter visit. But his plans are disrupted when he receives a phone call from his estranged father, Jerry, begging for help. Per finds Jerry close to death in his blazing woodland studio. He's been stabbed, and two dead bodies are later discovered in the burnt-out building. The only suspect, Jerry's work partner, is confirmed as one of the dead. But why does Jerry insist his colleague is still alive? And why does he think he's still a threat to his life? When Jerry dies in hospital a few days later, Per becomes determined to find out what really happened. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more danger he finds himself in. And nowhere is more dangerous than the nearby quarry..." -- Book cover.

"I think Johan Theorin might be a new ‘favorite author’ of mine!! This is the third book of his I’ve read and thoroughly enjoyed! The Quarry was a bit harder to grasp at the beginning compared to his first two books but once I got the hang of who’s who & who knows who I went through the 400+ pages in just a couple hours. I look forward to reading Theorin’s 4th book in The Öland Quartet “The Ghost in the Cave”!!! #mystery #thriller #crime "
