New crime fiction book, ‘Leona: The Die is Cast’, written by real life criminologist, #1 best-seller in Sweden.
In Leona: The Die Is Cast (Echo Publishing $32.95) a young girl walks into a bank in central Stockholm in broad daylight and manages to get away with several million. The robbery, unique in the history of Swedish crime, attracts great attention from the media, and the outsider Leona Lindberg at the Violent Crimes Division agrees to work the case.
Leona has an antisocial personality disorder, which severely limits her emotional life. She is incapable of experiencing real emotions (except for her two children), which often makes her act in a cold and inconsiderate manner. She has had enough of her stale middle-class life and wants to leave it all behind – for this she needs money and she has developed a gambling problem that pushes her into breaking the law. Because of her long career with the police department Leona has seen most of the mistakes criminals have made in the past. Combined with her knowledge of police work and the legal system, this makes her the perfect criminal.
Written by criminologist Jenny Rogneby, Leona: The Die Is Cast is a thrilling crime novel with unexpected twists and turns. Jenny Rogneby began studying subjects such as criminology, sociology, law and psychology at Stockholm University where she later became a criminologist. For 7 years she has been working professionally as a criminal investigator at Stockholm City Police Department, investigating everything from thefts to robberies and murders. Her work inspired her to start writing and she formed the character LEONA, a criminal investigator with a dark past whose actions challenge social norms.
