About this listen

Summer is coming to Lund, a university town in the south of Sweden, and the students are looking forward to their summer break. But tragedy casts its dark shadow over the city when a young woman is found brutally beaten in Lund City Park. Not far from the crime scene, a young man is also found assaulted. Both victims are discovered holding a white lilac in their hand.

Chief Inspector Sara Vallén is put on the case but is quickly removed when her son turns out to be the main suspect. To clear her son’s name, Vallén decides to start her own investigation.

White Lilac is the first in the series about Sara Vallén and her colleagues at the Lund Police Department.

Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo, Karin Fossum, and Lotte Petri.

Cecilia Sahlström is a popular Swedish crime writer based in Lund, in the south of Sweden. She worked in the police force for twenty years before turning to writing.

Critic Reviews

Cecilia knows how police work is done, how people in distress behave and the strain on the police... She portrays the police officers' drive to catch the offenders and at the same time wanting to keep family life intact... This is what Cecilia Sahlström does very, very well. If you want some weekend excitement sitting on the couch, "White Lilac" is perfect.
-- Ulrika Larsson in P4 Halland
