Souls of Air
Author(s): Mons Kallentoft
Linkoping's top detective, Malin Fors, is about to take on a case that's a little too close for comfort. Her daughter has just discovered a dead body. It is that of a 79-year-old resident at the nursing home where she works. He's been hanged by his own alarm cord. At first it looks like a straightforward suicide. But when the autopsy suggests foul play, Malin uncovers some disturbing rumours about the home's management and its millionaire owner. Was it a mercy killing, or was someone trying to silence the victim? Who could possibly benefit from the death of an elderly man? Only someone with a lot to gain - or a lot to lose...
Product Information
Praise for the Seasons series: - Kallentoft's books have been called beautiful, exquisite and original. I can see why. Literary Review One of the best-realised female heroines I've read by a male writer. Guardian Meditative. Dark. Really, really cold ... This is a worthy successor to Larsson's Millennium trilogy ... This first installment in Kallentoft's crime series is a splendid representative of the Swedish crime novel, in all its elegance and eeriness. Booklist Starred Review
