The Skane Quartet is set in southern Sweden’s Skane province, where old secrets and buried histories surface through criminal investigations. Deeds of Autumn (2017) opens the series, followed by Dead of Winter (2018), End of Summer (2020), and Rites of Spring (2021). Each book centers on its own case, often involving crimes from the past that intersect with the present.
Anders de la Motte traded the urban tech-thriller tone of his earlier work for something quieter and more atmospheric here. The Skane books are driven by their sense of place, with the flat farmland and tight-knit communities of rural Sweden providing a backdrop where everyone has something to hide. The series earned strong reviews and widened de la Motte’s readership beyond fans of his Game Trilogy.
