Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is forced to unlock the secrets of a nearly perfect murder in this taut psychological thriller.
While on a field trip through the woods on the outskirts of Behren, a young girl stumbles upon a decomposing body wrapped in a carpet and lying in a ditch. The body has no hands, feet or head, but this was not the work of wild animals. A brutal killer is on the loose – but who is the victim?
From the hospital bed where he is recovering from surgery, Chief Inspector Van Veeteren begins to piece together the fragmentary clues that involve a nun who hides a secret, a crippled woman, the murders of two other women and a former track star who served two sentences for murder and has been missing since the date of his return to society. No one is who they appear to be and a sleepy village finds itself reopening cases long considered closed.
With the assistance of his colleagues, Van Veeteren faces the prospect of taking the law into his own hands in the face of a flawed system of justice.
'The mystery of a headless corpse ... brings insight to the puzzle of human behavior.'
New York Times Book Review
'Vance thrives with well-written dialogue ... With a deftness of phrase, Vance makes the book a joy. The Return, one of a series, will please even the toughest critics.'
