This is the 3rd book in the series about Detective Chief Inspector Erik Winter of Gothenburg, Sweden. The first two are titled "Sun and Shadow" and "Never End". I like how the books are written and that though they are mysteries, they concentrate more on the characters. For example - Winter had problems communicating with his father and his thoughts on that: "Everything could have been resolved if only they'd spoken to each other. The only thing that helps is communication with words. That's the only thing that enables us to make progress. Silence begets more silence, and eventually causes a muteness that is like cement."
There are 12 Erik Winter novels but so far, only 3 of them have been translated from Swedish to English. I'm looking forward to the other 9.
