With the "intensity of a Jason Bourne adventure," this thriller about a spy racing to save the daughter he gave up is a "page-turner with unexpected heart" (Kirkus Reviews).

Klara Walldéen was raised by her grandparents on a remote archipelago in the Baltic Sea, learning to fish and hunt and sail a boat through a storm. Now, as an EU Parliament aide in Brussels, she is learning how to navigate the treacherous currents of international politics: the lines between friend and enemy, truth and lies.

But Klara has accidentally seen something she shouldn't have: a laptop containing information so sensitive that someone will kill to keep hidden. Suddenly, she is thrown into a terrifying chase across Europe, with no idea who is hunting her or why.

Meanwhile, in Virginia, an old spy hides from his past. Once, he was a man of action, an operative so dedicated that he abandoned his infant daughter to keep his cover. Now, he is the only man who can save Klara... and she is the only woman who can allow him to lay old ghosts to rest.

"Truly polished and compelling... But it is the depth of Zander's characters and the quality of the writing, which at times touches elegance, that make The Swimmer a winner." -- Booklist, starred review

"Page turning... [This] hypnotic first book is already drawing comparisons to the work of famed spy novelist John le Carré." -- Entertainment Weekly

"[Zander is] a smart, fluid observer." -- New York Times Book Review

"Entertaining... [the] novel owes more to Forsythe and Ludlum than to Larsson and Mankell... it's easy to see why this thriller has been a bestseller in Europe." -- Publishers Weekly
