The work has gone very well, according to Karolina Kallentoft.

We live quite close to each other, but have only had email contact, she says side by side with her ex-husband during Storytel's presentation of the autumn news.

"The Wolf Watches in the Dark" is their joint audiobook, which will be released on November 19. Mons Kallentoft has previously written about 30 books in the thriller genre, but Karolina Kallentoft is now debuting with the story of a serial killer in "the heart of the Swedish Bible belt", according to Mons Kallentoft.

If there's ever been suppressed desires, it's probably there, he says.

Karolina Kallentoft has relatives in Småland, where she has spent many summers, she says, some of them together with her ex-husband, who describes it as a grateful playground for thrillers.

This is the darkest, most inbred Småland where anything can happen in principle, and where the entire Swedish essence-culture was strongest. What's really in these forests? he says.

"The Book Club", a new book podcast with Pascal Engman and Amanda Schulman, premieres on September 4.

"Where is Helena?" by Tina Frennstedt, about the disappearance of 22-year-old Helena Andersson in 1992. Frennstedt is now telling the documentary story of the unsolved case, which she previously wrote about in the novel "Disappeared". September 10.

"Police Negotiators" by Erica Luuk, who tells about dramatic situations that the police have been able to resolve through negotiation, and how it was done. September 16.

"Is it Now I Die?" is Victoria Berggren's autobiography, where she tells about how she got out of a life of addiction and prostitution. Written together with Leone Milton, November 30.
