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.
