The smallest betrayal can cause the greatest harm . . .

When Eva discovers her husband's having an affair, grief and rage drive her to vengeful action. Then she meets Jonas, who for the past two years has been keeping vigil beside his comatose girlfriend. Burdened with his own sinister history, he sees a chance to start afresh with Eva . . .

In the tradition of Nicci French and Minette Walters, Betrayal exposes the pain of deception and how our destructive behaviour can lead to consequences far beyond our control.

Nominated for the Best Nordic Crime Novel award in 2004 and a bestseller across the continent, Betrayal cements Karin Alvtegen's position in the top rank of European thriller writers.
