Bonnier Rights Spring 2015 Rights Guide Fiction & Narrative Nonfiction Fiction Focus Title Pitched as Fyodor Dostoyevsky meets Batman, THE IRONSKULL is a sweeping adventure set during the fiercest years of the First World War, a literary suspense novel that moves effortlessly from the heights of Swedish society to Stockholm’s underbelly of spies and hired assassins. The year is 1917. The world beyond Sweden’s borders is aflame. Scores of secret agents and spies from every corner of the world congregate in the capital. When the murder of an officer with ties to Sweden’s ruling elite is written off as an accident by the police, the mysterious Herr Agnefit puts together a group of operatives with rare and special talents to find out what really happened. Agnefit’s team includes Captain Henrich Murman, a former agent of the Tsarist secret services, the demure Lydia Widén who’s also the vigilante The Green Hunter, and battered middle-aged swindler Jenny Storm, amongst others. Herr Agnefit won’t tell anyone why he wants the murder solved, and before long his confederates begin to suspect something’s seriously wrong. Something bigger — much bigger — is at play. THE IRONSKULL, the first book of two, is an epic and fateful saga which brings together the most unlikely literary strands: the literary epos meets the superhero tale; the graphic novel meets psychological realism. Nils Håkanson is influenced as much by Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman as he is by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Leo Tolstoy and August Strindberg. Nils Håkanson, b. 1975, is a translator of Russian literature and holds a Ph D in Slavic languages. THE IRONSKULL is his first novel.

Today she lives in Älta outside Stockholm, with her sister and as many bookshelves as she can squeeze in. She has still not decided whether she prefers books or people.

He is scarred by poverty and alcoholism, but is conscientious in his work: finding runaway farm girls and chasing bad debts. He rents a flat above a funeral home in the Sibirien district of Stockholm and takes great pride in his appearance. His past contains a deep scar and an estranged daughter. One of his secrets is a strong attraction to men. In CLINCH, Kvist is wrongly accused of murder and is forced deeper into Stockholm’s underworld in the hunt for the only person who can save him. As he attempts to clear his name from false allegations, he moves through shanty-towns, speakeasies, brothels and contraband stores, but also catches a glimpse of upper-class life in their decadent parlours. Torn between his broken past and his desire to survive, between his pride and his misery, he risks his life in a violent quest for justice and reveals corruption at the heart of the city. In each of the novels, Harry Kvist gets caught in the crossfire between powerful groupings and has to fight to survive. Over the course of the trilogy, his own tragic fate is also revealed. The trilogy begins during the cold, dark autumn of the Kreuger Crash in 1932, while the finale takes place four years later.

Władysław Sikorski, Poland's prime minister exiled in London, revealed that 700,000 Jews had been systematically murdered in brutal Nazi concentration camps, quarantined and executed en-masse in ghettos, and walked to their deaths in gas chambers. This was the first time the world and the Allied forces had heard of the crimes of the Holocaust, a secret the Nazi leaders had been able to keep until now. The shocking revelation was based on information – a dossier of highly sensitive photographs and documents – which had come out of Poland, to London, via Stockholm thanks to a group of Swedish businessmen working in Warsaw at the time. The eight men repeatedly risked their lives to smuggle out the information telling the world about the Nazi persecution of Polish Jews. Dubbed The Warsaw Swedes, they were all to be sentenced to death by the Nazis as a result of their actions. Their remarkable story has never before been told in full.

This story is not only of importance in Sweden, but plays an important part in the broader history of the WWII, and the making of modern Europe. Staffan Thorsell is a Swedish author and journalist. He’s the former editor in chief of Swedish the newspaper Expressen, and the author of SVERIGE I VITA HUSET (2004), MEIN LIEBER REICHSKANZLER (2006) and I HANS MAJESTÄTS TJÄNST (2009).

How is it then that certain economic models and arguments that, although repeatedly proved false, keep coming back? If we want to build a better financial system, good intentions are simply not enough; it is imperative that we identify the bad ideas, however popular they may momentarily be. THE TEN WORST IDEAS IN ECONOMICS: FROM KEYNES TO PIKETTY submits such frequently repeated ideas to a test of common economic sense. The results are troubling: an alarming amount of nonsense now lies entrenched at the commanding heights of economic debate. Written for the amateur economist and the interested general reader, THE TEN WORST IDEAS IN ECONOMICS provides a tour de force of modern finance and economics, applied to some of the hottest topics of today’s debate. It provides a credible agenda of reform of financial institutions and government finance and therefore, a road forward. The manuscript was originally written in English by the author.
