👋 Our acclaimed author Tiina Laitila Kälvemark says hello. Her densely atmospheric and gripping fifth novel THE SHADOW SONATA (Valon ja pimeän sonaatit, WSOY 2023) has been published recently - we will share some lovely readers' feedback later this week. 🤩
🎹 In the summer of 1993, a thirteen-year-old schoolboy, Mikael Helenius, is kidnapped. Ten months later he is found alive, an empty drink bottle containing an adder clutched under his arm. The media goes into a frenzy over the so-called Snake Boy case, but Mikael has lost the ability to talk, parsing his thoughts and emotions through playing piano while the details of his abduction remain a question mark
🎼 Moving in the structure of a sonata, from allegro to rondo, Tiina Laitila Kälvemark's elegant prose builds a propulsive and beautiful story about a crime with far-reaching consequences, the power of music, and a rare friendship that emerges from it.

🗻 Satu Rämö takes the readers to the remote Westfjords of Iceland, adding a refreshing voice to the Nordic Noir genre. With a pinch of folkloric mysticism, HILDUR (𝘏𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘶𝘳, WSOY 2022) is a must-read for fans of Maria Adolfsson’s Doggerland series or Arnaldur Indriðason’s atmospheric Erlendur series.
😍 The Hildur-series started with a big bang, when Heyne recently acquired German rights in a pre-publication 3-book preempt.
🐑 Hildur Rúnarsdóttir, the titular HILDUR, is the lead detective in charge of the missing persons unit in the Icelandic town of Ísafjörður.

❄️ SHADOWS, the new trilogy by Timo Parvela & Pasi Pitkänen just might be the one to reach all corners of the world faster than Father Christmas himself!
🌪 SHADOWS is now thrice pre-empted within weeks from submission; for German by Ars Edition, for Dutch by WPG Kindermedia/Condor and for Danish by Straarup & Co. Helios won the Estonian three-way auction, and Mann, Ivanov, Ferber emerged the winner of the intense and high-bidding five-way-auction in Russia.
🌚 At the centre of all this interest is of course a great story, told over three books. SHADOWS by Timo Parvela and Pasi Pitkänen is an icy-cool Nordic adventure, thriller even, for middle graders. Parvela weaves a dense web of darkness around the most iconic of the Northern myths; the Father Christmas. Appropriately for the age group, kindness is at the heart of this story but it is under severe threat from a dark force gathering strength up in the North.
📜 ‘We love everything about SHADOWS: the theme of trading your shadow, the swift storytelling and the fantastic illustrations. A chilling must read for 10+!’ Emile Op de Coul, Publisher, Condor
