Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
At the start of Jungstedt's somber, subtle second mystery set on the Swedish island of Gotland (after 2006's Unseen), Det. Supt. Anders Knutas and his team look into the murder of the alcoholic former news photographer Henry Dahlström. In the course of their investigation, they discover evidence not only that the man maintained a good income doing illegal repair work for most of Gotland's leading citizens but that his death may somehow be linked to missing 14-year-old Fanny Jansson. Meanwhile, Johan Berg, a Stockholm news reporter, tries to keep his bosses interested in Dahlström's murder so he can take trips to Gotland to visit his married lover, Emma Winarve. With solid characters and powerful descriptions of the dark Swedish winter, this newest entry in the great tradition of Scandinavian police procedurals provides an engaging and twisty narrative that will fool even the most attentive reader. (Sept.)

From Booklist
Following Unseen (2006), Jungstedt's chilling second offering set on the Swedish island of Gotland finds Detective Superintendent Anders Knutas with his hands full investigating the suspicious death of sixtysomething photographer Henry "Flash" Dahlstrom. (Did an enterprising criminal get wind of the alcoholic lensman's big win at the racetrack?) Matters become further complicated when sexually explicit photos of murdered 14-year-old Fanny Jansson are found in Dahlstrom's darkroom. Detective Knutas makes headway on the case, thanks to crackerjack colleagues and invaluable tips from his friend Johan Berg, a television reporter who always seems to be at the right place at the right time. (The same can't be said for Johan's personal life; his affair with a married woman has taken a disturbing turn.) Swedish radio and television journalist Jungstedt serves up crisp prose, steady suspense, and a roster of flesh-and-blood characters by turns conflicted and content. At the center of it all is the idyllic island of Gotland, home to the medieval walled city of Visby and a slew of unsettling modern-day crimes. Block, Allison
