Someone killed Joakim. His girlfriend Sara and his brother Tobias give radically different accounts of what happened. Is Sara really in love with the brother or is she in fact a sociopath who won?t stop at anything, as Tobias claims? The Rival gives us the portraits of two characters at the ends of their ropes: Tobias with his intense love-hate relationship with his family and Sara who has negated her own personality in her struggle to be accepted. When each makes a desperate effort to gain control, nothing turns out the way they planned. The Rival is a claustrophobic thriller about jealousy, revenge and the consequences of manipulating others. ?I asked myself why I was so spellbound by a novel with a tone so dark that the story offered not even a glimmer of hope. Perhaps because it felt so true to life.? - Dast magazine
