Inspector Sejer has called his team together to review the case of a
body found in the river. Even after being missing for six months, they
were able to identify it. Sejer wonders if the victim had anything to do
with the death of a woman who had been killed a few days before this
victim disappeared.
It is while visiting with the son of the victim that Sejer inadvertently
learns that the victim was going to be selling his car to a woman. How
can he find out her name? During the course of his investigation,
Sejer discovers that a woman and child had seen the body and apparently
phoned it in. The trouble is, Sejer has no recollection of that call
occurring.
As his investigation continues, threads seem to connect to the
mysterious woman. He finds her after she has been attacked in her own
home. Taking her back to the police station, her story comes out.
Author Karin Fossum, tale of murder and greed gets off to a slow start,
but once the mysterious woman's story begins to unfold, the pace picks
up. Fossum provides the reader with a surprising twist at the end. A
good read.
