When the body of a woman is found posed inside a plaster sculpture, Inspectors Delara Holm and Stefan Eklund know they are looking at something beyond ordinary violence.
She isn't the first. She won't be the last.
The victims are women no one protected. Addicts. Homeless. The invisible. And someone is making sure they are finally seen.
The investigation pulls them into Stockholm's elite art world — a celebrated gallery, a tormented sculptor, and a network of obsession and silence that reaches further than anyone anticipated. The deeper they go, the harder it becomes to understand where obsession ends and something far more disturbing begins.
Because this isn't just about murder.
It's about who gets to decide whose lives matter. And how far someone will go to be remembered.
Sculpture is the second book in "The Stockholm Killings" series.
Engineer by day, writer by night—that's how I would describe myself. Since childhood, I have been fascinated with how writers can create entire worlds with simple words and draw others into their stories. I remember spending my summer holidays as a teenager reading detective stories and trying to write my own tales in the style of Agatha Christie on an old typewriter (yes, I'm that old!).
In the evenings, I would read my freshly typed pages to my younger sister, always ending on a cliffhanger to keep her longing for more. Those were precious moments. But as I got older and my schedule filled up with a job, husband, and children, there was little time left for writing. Eventually, I realized that all those stories in my head had disappeared.
In 2020, at the start of the Covid pandemic, I decided to reignite my passion for writing and published my first novel, THE FIND, on Amazon. Since then, this has become a full-blown book series.
As a writer, I truly appreciate your feedback and reviews. I am still on a learning curve and can always do better.
I am grateful to all the readers who have taken the time to read my books.
This was a good story that Venezia Miller happened to put into print. It was exceptional with getting everything just right. They got all the bad guys and they got all the good guys in to where they belonged. It wasn't noir by any means. I kinda like that about Venezia, she doesn't fit into the noir kind of group. She kept the book from being bored with all the action being released by the killers. I was half right with who they were.
Truly horrifying deaths, and a plot that keeps you on your toes. Characters larger than life. An ensemble cast of investigators with real humanity who all grow on you. A truly compulsive spellbinding thriller!
