Outside, it's freezing and Stockholm is completely white. Inside the bulletproof windows of the luxury villa, a young woman sits alone with her young daughter. The man she thought would take care of her has disappeared. Deep down, Karin knows he's not coming back. She also knows where all the money came from. That John was a criminal and a gang leader. That what he and his friends were doing was shady, violent - and profitable. She had settled into a responsibility-free existence, pampered and supported by John. Now all that's left is what's left. A large, empty villa that the king's bailiff wants to foreclose on. A wardrobe full of expensive fashion clothes. A car with half a tank of gas. The unpaid bills are piling up. And the "family" as it's called in mafia language - the people she thought were her friends - have abandoned her. The city is white. Outside, the snow is falling. She is alone with Dream and the consequences of her own choices. Karolina Ramqvist (b. 1976) is a Swedish journalist and author. With her two most recent novels, His Girl and The Beginning of Everything, she has established herself as one of the most significant writers of her generation in Sweden. Den hvide by is a standalone sequel to the novel Hans pige, which was published in Danish in 2009.
