Power Trilogy is finally here!

Power Trilogy tells complex and thrilling stories filled with violence, crime and sex. Lourdes Daza-Gillman' books are some of the most recent additions to a wide body of Nordic crime fiction.

In the trilogy, detective inspector Sanna Johansson and her team work to solve a series of violent and troubling crimes. DESPAIR explores a brutal murder in the Swedish upper class, a mother’s revenge, and corruption in the police force. In IMPACT men become victims of a serial killer with a modus operandum that leads police and media to a hunt of a male sexual predator. In MISERY, sex trafficking and a feared mafia organization draws Sanna into the most challenging situation of her life. The Power Trilogy explores the minds of those with power, those who have lost it, and those fighting to regain it.

IMPACT - Power Trilogy Book II

Together with the other two books in the Power Trilogy, the release of the new edition of IMPACT (Book II) will be in January 2019.

IMPACT is a dark crime drama/thriller about a serial killer. The book depicts a person's struggle against their own principles, and what they are capable of when recurring, cruel nightmares become a constant reminder of an earlier ominous event in their past.

A dark trilogy about women's vulnerability in a modern society.

The first book, DESPAIR, is based on decades of research and thoughts about women's underlying causes of women's vulnerability, and the role of the children as the invisible victims. My interest in thorough research, which has always been a natural part of my way of working, made me discover new subjects that led to the writing of the two subsequent books, IMPACT and MISERY, the 3:rd book in being translated and will be available soon.

The books are raw and to some extent dark, but they also show how the power of sole individuals and smaller groups can make a big difference. It has been interesting to see how some of the events I wrote about in Despair 2013 now taken real form in today's metoo-protests in Sweden and in the rest of the world.

Power Trilogy has received a positive response from both readers and reviewers.

Who is killing middle-aged men around Sweden?

The horrific sex murder of a middle-aged man is the start of a tough, almost bizarre police investigation. Before long, Sanna Johansson and her team, realize this is a far from straightforward investigation. The entire crime scene has been decontaminated and they soon discover a connection with several unsolved killings across the country, where the methods used were identical and no clues were left behind...

IMPACT is available on Amazon and other online bookstores.

My purpose as a writer...

Said about Power Trilogy:

Swedish readers comments about Power Trilogy (Makttrilogin)

DESPAIR: "Despair is a gripping story from the first page.The reader is taken on a journey not only for the murder of a woman in Djursholm, but also on a journey that describes a reality for many vulnerable women today. It is a story of violence in everyday life, about female revenge, about the hidden victims of youth rebellion with the help of social media and traditional protests ... ... but I could not put it down and read the entire stretch on a weekend. Recommend!"
/ Boktipset Lorenna G.

IMPACT: "Of all the mystery independent  publishers in Sweden, Lourdes Daza Gillman must be one of the most promising. She writes with great authority: her strong commitment pulses also through the other police novel about colleagues Sanna and Donald in Stockholm Criminal ... ..." 

/ Culture journalist Bengt Eriksson.

VANVETT (The book is under translation): "Daza-Gillman writes with such intensity that I had to put down my book and catch my breath. For what she narrates is terrible. 

Realism? Fiction? How much of either? ... "
