Step into a world where secrets smoulder between the lines and truth hides behind the curtain.
When Mikael, a half-Finnish New Zealander, returns to his father’s homeland after decades away, he isn’t looking for trouble—just answers. His father, Mikael Långberg, once a brilliant theatre director, died under mysterious circumstances during the final days of a notorious Cabaret production. Officially ruled a suicide. Unofficially? Nothing adds up.
Teaming up with a reluctant old friend, a sharp-tongued editor and translator of famous sci-fi novels, Pekka Wall, and a local young misfit, Mikael plunges into Finland’s eccentric, icy underworld—where silence speaks volumes, humour cuts deep, and the past never stays buried. As layers of performance, paranoia, and betrayal unfold, he discovers that solving a murder is easy… compared to facing the truth.
Darkly funny, emotionally layered, and rich with a Finnish atmosphere, The Birthmark Murders is a mystery that dances between satire and sorrow, theatre and truth, love and obsession. Prepare to laugh, flinch, and turn pages late into the night.

Handful – The Boy at the End of the Rainbow is a tender, funny, and emotionally intelligent novel about growing up—and growing into yourself. With richly drawn LGBTQ+ characters and themes at its core, this story speaks to anyone who has ever felt lonely, marginalised, different, or simply lost.

More than a coming-of-age tale, it’s a deeply humane exploration of identity, resilience, and love in all its forms. For parents navigating the emotional rollercoaster of raising teens—and for young adults trying to make sense of who they are and where they belong—Handful offers warmth, insight, and moments of laugh-out-loud joy.

THE TRIUMVIRATE MURDERS Death As a Business Expense

When two brilliant misfits—Pekka Wall, a sardonic, retired editor with a flair for the dramatic, and Tuomas Ylivire, a red-maned literary firebrand with a taste for chaos—arrive at Finland's most prestigious Independence Day gala, the last thing they expect is to be pulled back into a deadly mystery. But when old enemies resurface, and a string of calculated murders rocks the upper crust of Finnish society, the eccentric duo finds themselves at the heart of a tangled conspiracy—one that ties cultural prestige to fatal ambition.

From Helsinki’s velvet-draped ballrooms to the shadowy alleys of scandal and scandalous pasts, The Triumvirate Murders is a whip-smart crime tale brimming with biting wit, theatrical flair, and an unflinching look at power, pride, and the personal cost of truth.

Prepare for a scandalous waltz of deception, with murder the price of entry and survival the only encore.
