About the book
Salamandra will publish 1795, by the Swedish author Niklas Natt och Dag, the third installment of the trilogy that began with the successful 1793.
Established as the great innovator of noir and historical novels, Niklas Natt och Dag closes his acclaimed Stockholm trilogy.
After the terrible fire of an orphanage in which one hundred children have lost their lives, the acrid aroma of vice, fear and injustice permeates Stockholm. Like a dangerous wounded animal, evil lurks through the winding alleys of the city embodied in the figure of the depraved and violent Tycho Ceton, who prepares a perverse plan to sow chaos. But two dedicated investigators, the indomitable and long-suffering Mickel Cardell, crippled and wounded by guilt, and the brilliant and unstable Emil Winge will try to stop him, although to do so they will have to face not only their fears and limitations, but also the disdain of the corrupt authorities. and to the anger of powerful and cruel enemies. First, however, they must find Anna Stina Knapp, who wanders alienated by the mourning of her painful past while the country sinks into political and economic abysses and the libertarian ideas of the Enlightenment begin to flood consciences.
After the success of 1793—considered Best Book of the Year in Sweden and praised by critics for renewing the canons of the historical thriller—and 1794, two novels published in more than thirty languages, Niklas Natt och Dag offers us in 1795 a new sample of his narrative talent and closes his acclaimed trilogy about Stockholm at the end of the 18th century with a superb intrigue, full of lust, perversions and internal quarrels. Accompanied by hypnotic images and vivid descriptions, 1795 is not only a bloody detective story told with formidable skill, but also a fast-paced and well-set tour of the majestic decline of the kingdom of Sweden during the French Revolution.
