Skuggsidan

For some unknown reason, a passenger car crashes into a long-distance train. In the accident, eleven people die. But what preceded the disaster? Was someone else to blame besides the driver? By going back into the past, we see how accidents inevitably intertwine into an endless web, shaping reality—how our actions influence events far beyond our own lives. “The Butterfly Effect” is a novel about loneliness and the search for meaning, about the struggle of free will against the force of childhood trauma, about refusing to accept reality, and about the fact that sooner or later we will all have to part with our life worries… Karin Alvtegen (born 1965) is a well-known Swedish writer, a master of psychological thriller and detective genres, a laureate of numerous literary awards, including the “Glass Key” award for the best crime novel in Scandinavia.
