It is completely pointless to carry out a robbery if no one is killed. -Thurneman-

In the 1930s, there was a series of robbery-murders in the Swedish town of Sala. When the perpetrators were caught, it turned out that they were part of a secret occult organization called The Magic Circle. The Sala gang, as they were also known, was led by a charismatic hypnotist and serial killer who took on the name Thurneman, being an anagram for Manhunter. Thurneman claimed that the robbery-murders were related to black magic rituals and that he was in contact with dark entities on the astral plane. The Magic Circle conducted seances, led by Thurneman, under the spell on incense made from henbane. This book was first published in Swedish back in 2013 as Thurneman: ockultist och seriemördare. Its now available for everyone to enjoy in this English version. Manhunter reveals the full story of the enigmatic Swedish occultist Sigvard Thurneman (1908-1979) and his secret organization The Magic Circle and his ‘Sala Gang. As discussed at length in this engaging book, the criminal activities of the Sala Gang were rooted in a radical interpretatioin of Theosophy, tantra, Advaita Vedanta, hypnotism and spiritualism, and as such Thurneman and his associates stand out as a unique early example of radical occultism.
