A brilliant detective thriller from one of Sweden's best authors - Håkan Nesser, three times winner of the Swedish Academy of Detective Award for best prose. If someone asked Inspector Van Weuteren, he would tell him that solving a murder in a small town is much more difficult than in a metropolis... It would seem much simpler - several victims, one crime weapon... and no clues. Sent to help the local police, the inspector must not only investigate the murders committed, but also prevent new tragedies. With each page of the novel, the situation in the town becomes more and more tense. And Inspector Van Weuteren will have to show amazing insight and truly outstanding detective skills to bring the killer to light.
