This spell-binding story opens one snowy day when 35-year-old Laura Hindersten goes to the police to report that her father, the local professor, is missing. Police Inspector Ann Lindell and her colleagues can find no motive for the man's disappearance. And when the corpse of an elderly man does turn up, the dead man is not Laura's father.

As single parent Ann Lindell searches for connections between these crimes, she is distracted by a new and very handsome colleague. And then Laura Hindersten finds herself making a sizzling attempt to seduce a very married man. Both romantic involvements lead to fireworks.

When yet another man is murdered, Inspector Lindell realises a deranged killer may be closer than she thinks.

Product description

Review

"Compelling . . . the author's squad of detectives displays the kind of inter-dependency and fractious loyalty that endeared Ed McBain's 87th Precinct squad to fans for so many decades." --Publishers Weekly

"A brilliant, haunting work of psychological obsession." --The Globe and Mail on The Cruel Stars of the Night

"Eriksson is a major talent...will have McBain devotees enthralled." --Booklist on The Cruel Stars of the Night

"Kjell Eriksson's crime novels are among the very best." --Henning Mankell

"There are echoes of Ed McBain . . . but Eriksson's second mystery is even more reminiscent of Ruth Rendell. As insightful and intelligent as it is engrossing." --Library Journal

From the Inside Flap

Praise for author Kjell Eriksson:

Where were the clues? where was the story line, after skipping umpteen pages I decided that it wasnt worth carrying on reading the book.
Verdict: borring, clueless,a complete shambles. This is the second book I bought written by this author I should have learnt from the first one I read.
I selected one star because of the time it took to write the book.

Kjell Eriksson is among one of my favorite thrillers writers. Stories are well developed. For those who have not read any of his books, it is worth a try.

A bit too obvious

While I like Ann Lindell and her compatriots on the police force, I found the construct of this mystery a bit too obvious.
