Camilla Läckberg makes serial killer drama for Netflix
In the dark crime series &#;Glaskupan&#;, criminologist Lejla returns to the town where she grew up with her police chief and foster father Valter. The two begin investigating the mysterious disappearance of a girl. The series is directed by Lisa Farzaneh and Henrik Björn, and the concept was developed by Camilla Läckberg, who is also one of the show&#;s executive producers.
&#; &#;It&#;s more &#;The Killing&#; than &#;Midsomer Murders&#;,&#; says the author.
She has sat with the writing team, bouncing ideas around and working on what will be six episodes in the first season.

They&#;ve laughed at me sometimes in the writers&#; room when I&#;ve given my talks on serial killers.
