The Foster Brother

Based on a true Swedish murder case

March 2001. Detective Emma Lindqvist arrives at a crime scene that will haunt her for months: a young mother stabbed thirty-two times in her own bed, her infant son crying in the next room. The boyfriend claims he saw a stranger fleeing. But the DNA doesn't match anyone in the system.

The only lead? An anonymous letter the victim had thrown away.

Seven months of investigation. Two women who shared a foster home as teenagers. Both receiving threatening letters. Both targeted by someone who knows their past. As Emma and her partner Jonas Eriksson close in on their suspect, they face an agonizing question: Can they stop him before he kills again?

October 2001. Time is running out.

THE FOSTER BROTHER is a fictionalized account of one of Sweden's most disturbing murder cases. While names, locations, and investigative details have been changed for this novel, the chilling core remains true: sometimes the most dangerous predators are the ones who've been watching us all along.
