***You have NEVER seen the Swedish police like this before...***
Police cadet Andreas Wiklundi one month from becoming a fully trained police officer; the nerves, insecurity and self-doubt are on the outside, and he does everything he can to prove himself to his instructing officers. Every job is a trial, a learning experience, a challenge, and everything he does is gathered in an assessment that will determine his entire future.
It doesn't help that monsters are real.
During a regular night shift, Andreas and his colleagues are dispatched to central Vällingby, where a domestic homicide has just been committed and a small girl is missing. Determined to show himself competent, Andreas finds the girl, who instantly turns into a shadowy figure with razor sharp teeth. The girl disappears, leaving Andreas unconscious, left with horrible bite marks in his neck and a growing thirst for something very forbidden.
THE LAST DAY SHIFT shows the everyday life of the Stockholm police force, in a reality where strange creatures are as real as people, and follows Andreas in a double journey of evolution, where he on one hand just wants to fulfil his dream of becoming a police officer - on the other hand, he is turning into a vampire.
In the background, the Police Authority has to deal with the sudden death of its most senior commissioner, while Andreas fights a different kind of demons in his personal life.
Damn right it doesn't help that monsters are real.
Alexander Hellström is born, raised and based in the Stockholm area, Sweden, and the SHIFT OF THE DARK series is heavily influenced by personal experiences (he is not a vampire).
The SHIFT OF THE DARK series currently consists of this first part, originally avaliable in Swedish, with the second part in the works.
