Some names play against when it comes to reaching audiences in distant countries. Occurs on some occasions with Nordic authors that come to us with their unrecognizable typographic versions or of unusual phonetics. Louise (I keep her name for that very reason), she is a Swedish writer who came from a world of the script where successes have accompanied her due to her ability to create new knots with which to eternalize the series with twists only at the height of great wits.
In the absence of knowing more about a narrative aspect for which she is logically best known in her native Sweden, we discover here her series «Resistance Trilogy»That takes advantage of certain inertias of what is assumed to the Nordic noir but that ends up escaping more towards the suspense than towards the criminal. A group that moves between dilemmas of all kinds around corruption but that moves in actions of disturbing action.

Blood flower
Sara has decided to leave her home to start a new life in Stockholm and try to forget the last year of her life. Not only did she suffer a savage attack at the hands of a stranger on the way to a friend's party, but her father died in a fire in unexplained circumstances. Just arrived in Stockholm, Sara meets Bella, who immediately offers her a job in one of the most important public relations agencies in the capital.
She also meets Micke, a very attractive man who seems to be interested in her. Isn't it all too pretty to be true? Why doesn't Sara just let go of the feeling that someone is watching her and that everything is too perfect? Perhaps Sara is just a traumatized woman, perhaps she is not able to accept that life can smile on her ... Or perhaps Sara's intuition is much closer to the truth than it should be so that her life does not begin to be in real danger.
