The irascible, obdurate, and very thirstyDetective
Superintendent Evert Bäck-ström of the National Murder
Squad returns in a new novel from the reigning master of
Scandinavian fiction. It’s the dead of summer in the sleepy town of Växjö when
twenty-year-old police cadet Linda Wallin is found lying
facedown in her mother’s apartment, brutally murdered and
raped. With no clear motive or suspect in sight, a series
of bureaucratic mix-ups causes the National Crime Unit to
send Bäckström and his team into the countryside to solve
the case. The ever-irritable Bäckström leaves his beloved
goldfish behind, checks intoa local hotel, and begins to
reconstruct the night of Linda’s murder. But with more
than a few bottles in tow, and a constantly growling
stomach to look after, things don’t go so well, and
Bäckström has to rely on the help of his colleagues to
solve the crime—no matter how angry that makes him.
