Today is publication day for DØDELANDET, the Danish-language edition of BADLANDS (UK title PLAY DEAD). Thanks once again to Thomas Rasmussen and Rasmus Funder at ArtPeople, and to all the folks at Krimifan.dk. You can read more about my Danish editions here.
For my Danish readers, here is a review of DØDELANDET:
Liget af en teenagepige, der er løbet hjemmefra, bliver fundet i en udstillingsmontre i den nordlige, farlige del af Philadelphia, kaldet DØDELANDET, og makkerparret Jessica Balzano og Kevin Byrne bliver kastet ud i sagen.
En mystisk telefonopringning bringer dem på sporet af et nyt offer: I et øde hus ligger ligdelene af en ung, parteret pige anbragt i tre bokse. Men det stopper ikke dér, flere lig dukker op, og billedet af en usædvanlig perverteret seriemorder i færd med at udføre sit eget blodige show begynder at tage form. Hvor længe bliver han ved? Hvor mange tricks har han oppe i ærmet? Og hvor mange hemmeligheder rummer den store, gamle villa med de dybe kældre i udkanten af byen?
Sagen mod den uhyggelige illusionist bliver en besættelse for Jessica og Byrne, efterhånden som ligene af morderens såkaldt – yndige assistenter? begynder at hobe sig op.

Just received the gorgeous cover art for the UK edition of THE STOLEN ONES, the next thriller featuring Philadelphia homicide detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano. The book follows the Sunday Times bestselling THE KILLING ROOM now available in paperback and digital formats.
Here is the Little, Brown catalog entry for THE STOLEN ONES:
For one hundred years, the Delaware Valley State Hospital at Cold River was known as a warehouse for the criminally insane. Two decades ago, it closed its doors forever. But a man named Luther never left. To this day he roams the catacombs beneath the abandoned hospital, waiting and watching.
On a late winter day a businessman is found brutally murdered in a Philadelphia park. Detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano get the case.
They soon discover a two-year-old girl wandering the streets in the middle of the night, a little girl who does not speak. In her hands -- a key piece of evidence linked to a series of murders committed halfway around the world. As the detectives investigate, and more bodies are found, they're drawn closer and closer to the doors of Luther's devious maze, to Der Traumkaufmann -- The Dream Merchants -- and the dark secrets of Cold River.
THE STOLEN ONES will be released in the UK on 18 July, and will be published in the US by Mulholland Books in February 2014. Watch this space for more details.
