The first book of the series will be published on June 1, 2026.

Kasper Wik is a popular thirty-something TV and YouTube celebrity who, weary of Helsinki’s celebrity scene, reinvents himself as a risk-taking video documentarian. When he begins investigating human trafficking, he meets the mysterious Sophia. As a powerful and fateful romance develops between them, Kasper is drawn — against his will — into the heart of an international criminal network.

The Angels Who Vanished delves into the brutal world of human trafficking, whose dark tentacles reach across Europe. The novel launches the Kasper Wik series, introducing a compelling new protagonist to the forefront of Nordic crime fiction. From a disillusioned influencer emerges a fearless investigative video journalist who exposes criminals while battling the ghosts of fame.
