Giraffe Island
An original mystery adventure, colored by magical realism, about a girl whose world is peopled with animals no one else can see, with a mystery, a circus, and family at its heart. Far away in the middle of the sea there is an island shaped like a giraffe. Nine-year-old Vega lives there with her father and grandfather-a gardener and former ringmaster. Their shed-the Paraphenalium-is filled with every possible thing you didn't know you needed. Vega's bathroom is home to a gray bear with shampoo-lathered fur, and every day she talks with the asphalt beaver and crosswalk zebra on the way to school. Her best friend is Nelson, who observes things others don't notice and keeps a notebook of mysteries and facts. Vega and Nelson set out to save Vega's father and find her mother in a search that leads them to a unique circus and unexpected answers. Giraffe Island is a magical realist mystery adventure driven by the longing to be part of a family. It is playful, fresh, and beautifully written.

Gunnar ser inte ut som de andra girafferna, han har nämligen ingen lång hals. Därför har de andra girafferna bestämt att Gunnar inte får vara med och spela basket.

Den Halshuggna Giraffen
Malmö, omkring år 1950. Järnvägsinspektor Erik Olsson är försvunnen. Utan hatt och ytterrock har han lämnat sin ungkarlslägenhet och begett sig ut i det kylslagna aprilvädret. Polisen är föga intresserad av fallet, så den försvunnes mor anlitar privatdetektiven Urban Krook. Men hur finner man en person som nästan saknar personlighet? Ju mer Krook gräver i Olssons förflutna, desto mer förändras dock bilden av honom och hans relationer till andra människor. Frågan är bara vems uppfattning som är sann och hur det ska hjälpa Krook i eftersökandet? Och vilken roll spelar den sönderslagna porslinsgiraffen i Erik Olssons lägenhet? Den halshuggna giraffen är en spännande och atmosfärrik detektivroman i samma stil som Georges Simenons böcker om kommissarie Maigret. Det är den första boken om privatdetektiv Urban Krook. PETER K. ANDERSSON är författare och historiker, bosatt och uppvuxen i södra Skåne. Han har tidigare gett ut en rad populärhistoriska fackböcker, bland annat På stadens skuggsida: Människor och brott i Jack the Rippers London (2017) samt Komikerns historia (2020). Den halshuggna giraffen är hans debut som deckarförfattare.
