A bitterly cold winter has crippled Malmö. Journalist Leyla Abdallah is about to return to her job on the morning paper after her maternity leave when someone makes her an offer she can’t refuse. The Vitanova Foundation runs a highly praised hostel for women, and gives her a free hand to write a book about the homeless and the down-and-outs in the city. Leyla becomes deeply involved in the project. When a known heroin addict is found dead in his junkie dive, the police write it off as an overdose. But Leyla suspects that something else lies behind his death. Soon a homeless man is found dead, with a macabre poem written on his forehead, and it is clear that a serial murderer is at large in the city. The poem predicts more murders, and the police immediately launch a full-scale hunt for the murderer in the midst of the Christmas rush. At the same time, Leyla is working against the clock to stop the perpetrator. In the end she comes face to face with the killer.
Earth to Earth is an exciting crime novel about vulnerability, betrayal and revenge. It shows how old patterns of crimes against women and children repeat themselves, and what can happen when someone decides to break that chain. The book is a free-standing continuation of Let the Children Come to Me, published by Forum in 2008. In this novel Leyla Abdallah, the main character, has given birth to her son Viktor and moved in with her Swedish boyfriend Tom. But the family’s happiness is clouded by the fact that Leyla’s Iraqi father is unable to accept Tom, and refuses to meet the little family.
