Growing up poor, Yasmine vowed she would always protect her little brother from harm. She broke her promise on the day she left home, abandoning Fadi to his life in the Stockholm slums.
Now, five years later, Yasmine still carries the guilt of leaving him behind. Then she hears a rumour that he is dead, killed by a US drone in Syria. What happened to turn her sweet-natured brother into one of the CIA's most wanted men?
The answer will shock her. It will shock you too.

UK
‘The Swimmer is an absorbing chase thriller, teeming with action… set in a complex world of spies, murky international politics, terrorism and assassination… an excellent debut.’
The Times
‘Builds to exceptional tension.’
Independent
SWEDEN
‘A multi-layered thriller full of style, drive and immediacy. It is so elegantly constructed that, while reading, I forgot I was holding a debut novel in my hands. Joakim Zander has used
his insider knowledge to forge a powerful conspiracy story in which individuals can
be lost, and power can be bought and sold.’
