Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Internationally bestselling author Häkan Nesser makes his U.S. debut with this riveting tale of murder and suspense that reveals the deep humanity of the characters portrayed even as it sends chills up the spine.
Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is called to the sleepy coastal town of Kalbringen to assist the local police in the investigation of two recent ax murders. Soon the case turns from bad to worse when another body turns up and one of Van Veeteren's colleagues, a young female detective, disappears without a trace. Now Van Veeteren must find the killer, and, it is hoped, his colleague, before anyone else comes to harm. Riveting and intellectually satisfying, Borkmann's Point unfolds like a chess match where each move could prove deadly. Review:"No reader of hard-boiled crime fiction should miss the Scandinavians, and Nesser immediately vaults to near-Mankell status. Let's hope Borkmann's Point...is only the first of a steady stream of Nesser imports." Booklist (Starred Review) Review:"[A] classy and rewarding whodunit....Thompson's smooth translation makes this worthy mystery readily accessible to American readers." Publishers Weekly Review:"Keeps you on the edge of your seat....You don't want it to end." San Francisco Chronicle Review:"Nesser has a penetrating eye for the skull beneath the skin." The New York Times Review:"Appealing....Engaging....Unexpectedly poignant....A lean whodunit whose narrative speed and concision are admirable." Richmond Times-Dispatch Review:"Cerebral....An atmospheric mystery." The Plain Dealer Synopsis:Internationally bestselling author Häkan Nesser makes his U.S. debut with this riveting tale of murder and suspense that reveals the deep humanity of the characters portrayed even as it sends chills up the spine.
