Falling

“Look, I’m falling” is a thriller on a whole new level—a masterpiece that paralyzes every fan of the genre and reveals fresh sides of fiction. Mons Kallentoft masterfully turns the protagonists’ souls inside out—and with them, the readers’ souls—creating a story with no real match. A missing daughter, a father who swore he would never stop searching, and a tense chase against the dark underside of a shining resort world.
Stockholm, 2015. Tim Blank drives his 16-year-old daughter Emma to the airport—she’ll spend her vacation on the island of Mallorca, famous for its parties. Emma never comes back. She vanishes after leaving a club early in the morning, fading into the night.
Three years later, Tim, having left his job in Stockholm’s police, goes to Mallorca to resume an investigation that was shut down for lack of evidence. A wealthy German hires him to watch his unfaithful wife. When her lover is murdered and the wife disappears without a trace, the German asks Tim to find out who is behind it.
In his search for the truth, Tim is pulled into the corrupt world of Europe’s elite, lifting the veil on the tangled web of political intrigues—and unexpectedly discovers proof that his daughter is alive. The circle tightens, and he has less and less time to find his daughter and save his own life. Where can he run—and who can he trust?
Tense pursuit scenes, astonishing psychological depth, and a style that breathes passion—this book is a rare masterpiece.
