    About this series

    Private detective Embla and her husband, police chief Ask, are back in action in the town of Fableburg and its surroundings, taking on problems, crimes, and mysteries. 

    When Embla's old schoolmate, Victor the vicar, visits her and Ask at the police station, he reveals that his daughter has been catnapped. The villain demands a valuable golden crucifix as ransom. As Embla and Ask investigate the case, they soon discover that an infamous villain is behind the crime. But when Embla is herself imprisoned in a burial chamber, it takes extraordinary efforts from both detectives to catch the villains. 

    This illustrated detective mystery story is full of suspense, clever wordplay, and unique characters that will keep young readers engaged until the very end. With rave reviews from both readers and critics, this is a must-read for children and tweens who love thrilling and exciting stories.

    "Embla is a really sharp detective, making it almost too exciting for the others in the Case of the Crucifix. An exciting detective story with a clever play on words, made-up figures and nice illustrations. A book I highly recommend," @carinas_lasdagbok 

    "An excellent and thrilling book. Children and tweens need more books of this kind. The story is good and exciting for the age group." Pia Widlunds kulturblogg

      Privatdetektiven Embla och hennes man, polismästare Ask, tar sig an problem, brott och mysterier i staden Fabelborg med omnejd.  När Emblas gamla skolkamrat, prästen Pälle, söker upp henne och Ask på polisstationen berättar han att hans dotter blivit kattnappad. Skurken har meddelat att hon endast återfås om Pälle lämnar ifrån sig församlingens värdefulla krucifix. Kattnapparen har signerat sina meddelanden med X men snart visar det sig att en gammal välkänd skurk ligger bakom.  När Embla själv blir fängslad i en gravkammare krävs det extraordinära insatser av Ask & Embla för att fånga skurkarna. Berättelserna om Ask & Embla står bland annat på följande bokhyllor: Deckare för barn 9-12 Spännande böcker för barn 9-12 Äventyrsböcker för barn 9-12 Deckare för tweens Deckare för unga tonåringar Mysterier för barn 9-12 "Embla är verkligen en vass detektiv och gör det nästan för spännande för de övriga i fallet med Krucifixet … en spännande detektivberättelse med finurlig lek med ord, påhittade figurer och fina illustrationer. En bok jag varmt rekommenderar”, @carinas_lasdagbok  "En riktigt bra och spännande bok. Barn och ungdomar behöver fler böcker av denna sort. Historien är bra och lagom spännande för åldersgruppen." Pia Widlunds kulturblogg
