Winner of Sweden’s Best Crime Novel of the Year, Quicksand is a gripping, emotionally charged courtroom drama that explores guilt, responsibility, and the consequences of violence. Told through the eyes of 18-year-old Maja Norberg, the sole uninjured survivor of a horrific classroom shooting, the story weaves between the past and present as she stands trial for the murders of her classmates and teacher.

As the nation demands answers, Maja must confront the events that led to that tragic morning. Was she a victim, a participant, or something in between? Quicksand delivers a haunting psychological portrait of a girl trapped in the crossfire of privilege, trauma, and public judgement — raising unsettling questions about truth, loyalty and the justice system.
