Unspoken by Mari Jungstedt


Alcoholic Henry Dahlstrom is found murdered in the basement of his apartment building. As a starting point in their investigation, Detective Superintendent Anders Knutas and his colleagues in Gotland, Sweden focus on Dahlstrom's friends and the large amount of money he had won recently on the horses. Then it appears that the murder might be connected with the disappearance of 14 year-old Fanny Jansson. Interspersed with the account of the police investigation is the story of Stockholm reporter Johan Berg, who has arranged to be on assignment in Gotland in order to see Emma Winarve, with whom he fell in love in the first book in the series, Unseen. Jungstedt's mysteries are for readers who enjoy Ake Edwardson and Helene Tursten.
