The Martin Benner series by Kristina Ohlsson follows a defense lawyer at the top of his profession whose world unravels when he takes on cases that are more dangerous than they first appear. Lotus Blues (2014) introduces Benner as he agrees to search for a missing child, only to discover that the official story is built on lies. Mios Blues (2015) deepens his troubles as he finds himself at the center of a four-year-old’s disappearance, with evidence pointing to him as the prime suspect.
Buried Lies and The Lies We Tell, published in English in 2017 and 2018, continue the pattern of placing Benner in impossible positions where the legal system he has spent his career working within becomes a trap. The series has a darker, more personal tone than Ohlsson’s Fredrika Bergman books, with Benner paying a steep price for every truth he uncovers.
