Kary H. Lasch (1914 - 1993) was a Czech-born photographer who moved
to Sweden in 1939 and whose international model scouting network
was based in Stockholm. His photographic career spanned the 1950s
through the 1980s, and he attended the Cannes Film Festival
consecutively for over 30 years. He travelled widely, and is well
known for his iconic images of Picasso, Dali, Fellini, Sofia Loren,
and Brigitte Bardot. Lasch was known to do anything to get a scoop
on the best photos. In a famous instance, when Sofia Loren was on
her way to Stockholm by train from Copenhagen in 1955, Kary picked
up the train she was on in Copenhagen, bribed the concierge, and
photographed her while she was dressing in the train car. When they
arrived in the Stockholm Central Station, the Swedish press were
competing for the best position for a picture while Sofia and Kary
were looking out of the train window. This 3-volume set (Vol. 1:
Famous; Vol. 2: Cannes; Vol. 3: Humorous), brings together works
from the extensive Kary Lasch Collection, which contains more than
600,000 images.

The latest novel from internationally bestselling authors, Hjorth
& Rosenfeldt, creators of hit television shows, Wallander, The
Bridge and ITV's Marcella. An idyllic white, two-storey, beautiful
house in Sweden. Inside, a family has been brutally murdered -
mother, father and two young children all shot in broad daylight.
And the killer has got away. Sebastian Bergman has been brought in
to solve the crime, but with no credible suspects, he is at a dead
end. Until he discovers that there was a witness to the crime. A
young girl who saw it all happen, and she has fled, in fear for her
life. Bergman has to track the young girl down before it's too
late. But the killer is chasing her too - and he is determined to
finish what he started.
Six bodies are found on a Swedish mountain - and a cold case
rapidly heats up... FROM THE ACCLAIMED CREATORS OF WALLANDER and
THE BRIDGE Six skeletons on a mountainside. The relics of a
terrible crime committed long ago. For Sebastian Bergman, that just
makes the investigation into who they are, who killed them, and
why, even more complex. At first the investigation was a chance to
escape his ex-girlfriend and spend some time with his daughter,
Vanja. An opportunity to try and build a relationship with her
before it's too late. But soon he finds that he's more involved
than he would ever want to be. And his personal life is horribly,
disastrously tangled up in it all . . .
______________________________________ Scandinavian crime fiction
at its best from the creators of Wallander and The Bridge As a
blazing heatwave engulfs Stockholm, a series of women are found
brutally murdered and the Criminal Investigation Department is
getting nowhere. The murders bear all the hallmarks of Edward
Hinde, the serial killer jailed by psychological profiler Sebastian
Bergman fifteen years earlier. Sebastian desperately needs some
order in his chaotic life. The revelation that he has a daughter,
Vanja, could provide this longed-for stability. But should he tell
her the truth and risk destroying her life and career? Forcing his
way into the investigation, Sebastian soon learns that the murders
are connected to him and that no one around him is safe. Including
Vanja...
This book was published in the United Kingdom under the title
Sebastian Bergman. It all begins with a call to the police. A
sixteen-year-old boy, Roger Eriksson, has gone missing in the town
of Vasteras. A search is organized and a group of young scouts
makes an awful discovery in a marsh: Roger is dead.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Bergman, psychologist, criminal profiler and
one of Sweden's top experts on serial killers, is in Vasteras to
settle his mother's estate following her death. Sebastian has
withdrawn from police work after the death of his wife and daughter
in the 2004 tsunami.
When the Crime Investigation Department asks Sebastian for his help
in Roger's case, his arrogant manner at first alienates the rest of
the team. Pushing forward, though, they begin to make disturbing
discoveries about the private school Roger attended...."
