Stockholm, 1794: A young nobleman, Eric Three Roses, languishes in a hospital as the rest of the city claims that he belongs in a madhouse. Riddled with guilt, he writes down the memories of his lost love--his beautiful wife who died on their wedding night.
The young woman's mother also mourns her death and, desperate for justice, begs for help from the only person who will listen to her: Jean Mickel Cardell, the one-armed watchman. But she isn't the only person seeking him out.
Emil, younger brother to the brilliant lawyer and detective Cecil Winge, finds the watchman to demand his late brother's pocket watch back. Instead, Cardell enlists Emil's help to discover what really happened at the Three Roses estate that dreaded wedding night.
The City Between the Bridges: 1794 is a suspenseful race for the truth before it's too late from an author with a "thrilling, unnerving, clever, and beautiful" (Fredrik Backman, #1 New York Times bestselling author) voice.

What people are saying
Fredrik Backman is an author, blogger, and columnist.
It's historical fiction, but it's also a thriller and a mind bendingly clever crime story, and it's also...a heartbreaking rendering of friendship. It's sometimes darkness on the verge of unbearable, and it's some of the most beautiful writing I know.
Highlights from the PW Reviews department, which reviews about 9,000 books per year, tweeted by the editors: reviews, author interviews and profiles.
'The City Between the Bridges: 1794' by Niklas Natt och Dag, trans. from the Swedish by Ebba Segerberg. Mysteries don’t come much rawer than Natt och Dag’s gut-wrenching and moving page-turner, his second featuring Stockholm watchman Jean Michael Cardell. http://pw-ne.w… https://t.co/TgDJbb5RQx
"The City Between the Bridges is just full of filth and cynicism, the perfect combination for depicting the late 18th century and its terrible iniquities... Dag is particularly adept at savagely ripping the notion of a “civilized age” apart and showing the raw suffering underneath."
Praise for this book
"Niklas Natt och Dag takes the contemporary Scandinavian crime story and gives it a startlingly gruesome historical twist" --Guardian
