«Le Sang des Pierres» is the mystery and suspense novel by Johan Theorin, published by Librairie Générale Française in Le Livre de Poche (520 pages, in French).
The action takes place on the Swedish island of Öland, where several characters return as the snow melts. Peter Mörner seeks peace in the family house, Vendela Larsson contemplates the heath from her villa, and Gerloff, an old sailor, wants to see once more the sun of his childhood. During Walpurgis Night, the dramas of the past emerge among legends of the drowned, elves and trolls, and the narrative stays on the edge of the supernatural without fully crossing it.
Novel originally published in 2013 in the Le Livre de Poche collection. The setting combines the island's present with its poor and dark past around a blood-red cliff.
Johan Theorin is a Swedish journalist and author. Throughout his life, Johan Theorin has been a regular visitor to the island of Öland in the Baltic Sea.
