Aka “Händelser vid vatten” (original Swedish title)
Two tourists are found murdered in a tent on a midsummer evening in 1970. The crime intertwines the lives of four random people. Blackwater is based on a 1993 novel by the Swedish writer Kerstin Ekman. It received the August Prize in 1993 and the Nordic Council Literature Prize in 1994.
It also won the Best Swedish Crime Novel Award, beating out nearly one other candidate.
Kidding aside, it is ranked among the best crime novels ever written in Swedish. The Guardian’s critic ranks it #2, ahead of the far more famous Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
Will it be available on any platform outside Sweden?
