Publisher Description
Irene Huss is a former jujitsu champion, a mother of twin teenage girls, the wife of a successful chef, and a detective inspector with the Violent Crimes Unit in Goteborg, Sweden. And now she's back.
One nurse lies dead and another vanishes after their hospital is hit by a blackout. The only witness claims to have seen Nurse Tekla doing her rounds, but Nurse Tekla died sixty years ago. Detective Inspector Irene Huss of the Violent Crimes Unit has the challenge of disentangling wandering ghosts and complex human relationships to get to the bottom of this intriguing case.
A cult hit in the first three novels of the series, the Irene Huss novels are available once again for English-language fans.

"I loved this book so much! The story is Scandinavian Noir, my favorite, and this author has added a touch of Scooby-Dooishness (if I may) to a dark and eerie mystery. I can tell you that murders are happening and a ghost may or not be the prime suspect in these killings. Great story, very engrossing and interesting, and I really like the main character Inspector Irene Huss as well. Loved it."

" Wow what a thriller. Could not put down. "

" Another good inspector Huss opus. Despite being coffee and pizza laden it was an interesting story. Hospitals lend themselves so well to murder and mystery. Infidelity too. "
— Carol, 1/11/2014 -
" Pretty good. I can't help wondering it Swedish detectives (they don't actually call them that in the book) really spend so much time having meetings. It happens in the Wallander books also. "
— Gary, 12/20/2013 -
" This is a decent read, but definitely the weakest of the series. "

" Helene Tursten has been added to my list of favorite Scandinavian writiers. "

" I have to stop this one for now. I have picked it up about a dozen times and it just does not hold me at all. The story had potential, but for some reason it just does not deliver. I will keep this on my shelf and try again later and see if my opinion changes. "
— Kimberly, 11/24/2013 -
" Another Huss masterpiece... full of utterly believable characters and the minutiae of painstaking police work needed to solve the most intractable of crimes. "
— Vikas, 6/27/2013 -
" I won this on first reads. It was not a fast paced book by any means. It took me weeks to read it- I never felt eager to pick it up again like I do with other crime dramas. It wasn't a bad book, the story was interesting enough but I definitely didn't love it either. "
— Becca, 2/24/2013 -
" Excellent thriller. Does a good job of weaving in red herrings. "
— Don, 7/25/2012 -
" 3.5 Not as dark as most of the Nordic mysteries I have read. Do like the main character of Irene Huss and her twins. This was just okay for me, liked it but did not avidly turn the pages to get to the solution. "
— Diane, 7/20/2012 -
" I have enjoyed all in the series and this is no exception. Very well written mystery. Hard to put down. Can't wait for the next one to be translated. "
— Connie, 6/25/2012 -
" Easy to guess but still fun to read. "
— Susan, 6/1/2012 -
" Great political commentaries without being too heavy-handed. "
