Je v 21. století ještě vůbec možné vybudovat a uchovat základy pevného a trvalého vztahu, v prostředí plném povrchní, roztříštěné komunikace, strachu, že o něco přijdeme, neschopnosti odkládat uspokojení či „sešívaných“ rodin, když navíc stále narůstá počet lidí žijících o samotě? I v této situaci toužíme po vzájemnosti a láskyplné sounáležitosti. Kniha pojednává o situacích, které ohrožují harmonický vztah (přehnaná závislost jednoho partnera, nezralost), o úskalích řešitelných v párové terapii (triangulace, přerámování, neutrální postoj terapeuta), o důležitosti prvního setkání, o nedostatečnosti jazykových prostředků a důležitosti odpuštění, smíření a omluvy, o kreativních vztahových řešeních, o terapeutických výzvách při řešení nevěry, o používání metafor a o rozhodování, zda má smysl ve vztahu setrvávat. Alan Linnér a Anders Nyman jsou švédští psychologové s dlouholetou zkušeností, kteří stáli u zrodu párové a rodinné terapie ve Švédsku.

How do you catch a serial killer who never strikes the same way twice?

A killer who strikes out of nowhere. No apparent motive. No consistent method. Victims are tortured, strangled, burned, dismembered - each grisly killing carried out with savage precision, as if following the rules of a hellish game.

Hoch aufragende Klippen, knarrende Docks, malerisch rote Bootshäuser – und ein Mord: Der Auftakt der beliebten Bestsellerserie! Ein Sturm nähert sich dem verschlafenen Ort Hovenäset.

Er beginnt auf eigene Faust zu ermitteln. Lust auf noch mehr Schweden? Lernen Sie Kristina Ohlssons andere Krimireihen kennen, zum Beispiel mit »Aschenputtel« oder »Schwesterherz«.

An incredible new thriller you won't want to put down!

January, Fjällbacka. A semi-naked girl wanders through the woods in freezing cold weather. When she finally reaches the road, a car comes out of nowhere. It doesn't manage to stop. By the time Detective Patrik Hedström receives word of the accident, the girl has already been identified. Four months ago she disappeared on her way home from the local riding school, and no one has seen her since. It quickly becomes clear that she has been subjected to unimaginably brutal treatment. And it's likely she's not the only one. Meanwhile, Patrik's wife, crime writer Erica Falck, is looking into an old case - a family tragedy that led to a man's death. His wife was convicted of murder, but Erica senses that something isn't right. What is the woman hiding? As Erica digs deeper, the past starts to cast a shadow over the present and Patrik is forced to see his investigation in a whole new light.
