'A satisfying novel from a rising Swedish star.'
The Guardian
In this chilling case, Chief Inspector Van Veeteren has only his intuition to rely on ...
In the heart of summer, the country swelters in a fug of heat. In the beautiful forested lake-town of Sorbinowo, Sergeant Merwin Kluuge's tranquil existence is shattered when he receives a phone-call from an anonymous woman. She tells him that a girl has gone missing from the summer camp of the mysterious The Pure Life, a religious sect buried deep in the woods. Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is recruited to help solve the mystery.
But Van Veeteren's investigations at The Pure Life go nowhere fast. The strange priest-like figure who leads the sect – Oscar Yellineck – refuses even to admit anyone is missing. Things soon take a sinister turn, however, when a young girl's body is discovered in the woods, raped and strangled; and Yellineck himself disappears. Yet even in the face of these new horrors, the remaining members of the sect refuse to co-operate with Van Veeteren, remaining largely silent.
As the body count rises, a media frenzy descends upon the town and the pressure to find the monster behind the murders weighs heavily on the investigative team. Finally Van Veeteren realises that to solve this disturbing case, faced with silence and with few clues to follow, he has only his intuition to rely on ...
'The novel is as much about his [Detective Van Veeteran] thought processes and private pleasures as it is about a murder enquiry. The result it wry, thought provoking and often surprisingly funny.'
The Spectator
'Van Veeteran is a reluctant and sometimes cynical genius "destined", in the opinion of Morse's creator Colin Dexter, "for a place among the great European detectives".'
London Review of Books
'The fashion for imported crime fiction is still booming with the Swede Håkan Nesser one of its most successful models.'
