International Bestseller
Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is on the case once more in this breathless
thriller of deception, blackmail, and cold murder.
Van Veeteren and his associates are left bewildered by the curious
murder of a man shot twice in the heart and twice below the belt. An
utterly dull man, the only suspicious activity his surviving wife can
report is a series of peculiar phone calls. Repeatedly the telephone
would ring, offering no answer but an obscure pop song from the 1960s.
This siren song would be linked to an identical murder, but the true
connection remains unknown. With a cool, critical eye, Van Veeteren
pursues his subject across the country, wading through outrageous leads
and fruitless tips in this chilling mystery from master crime novelist
Håkan Nesser.
