Detective Inspector Huss

Richard von Knecht has fallen five stories from a building in Goteborg.  The ME tells  DI Irene Huss and DS Sven Andersson that it is definitely a homicide.  As Andersson's team begins to piece together information about the victim, it is discovered that he has a second son.

While the team is in the end of the day meeting an explosion is heard.  Just as the meeting is winding up, they are told that the explosion was where von Knecht's office was.  Further investigation indicates that the von Knecht's cleaning lady is missing.  A charred body found at the site of the explosion turns out to be the missing cleaning lady.  Evidence also points to there being a set of keys to von Knecht's home, office and country estate.  Police now fear that the life of his wife and son could be in jeopardy.

Before long the Hell's Angels and a drug scenario come into play.  It takes some work for the team to tie it all together.  Author Helene Tursten has written an engaging murder mystery.  This was a book that was hard to lut down.  I look forward to reading sequels.
