Publisher Description
'A tantalising mystery, executed with perfection.' THOMAS ENGER
He was locked inside an abandoned house. But he's not the only one . . .
When a dead man is found locked in the basement of an abandoned house, deep in the woods, there is no evidence of what happened beyond his name - scratched into the wall before he died. The regional police can't find anyone who knew him.
But no-one knows the locals like Detective Eira Sjödin. When her expert knowledge of her home town is again called in, she knows one of them must have seen something. Then, a shock: before she can uncover the truth, someone close to her disappears.
Has he fallen victim to the same criminal they've been chasing? And can Eira put the pieces together in time to save him?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The discovery of the body of a missing person, Hans Runne, drives Alsterdal's often gripping but haphazardly plotted sequel to 2021's We Know You Remember. Found in an abandoned house in a mining town in Sweden's far north, Runne had two fingers severed from his left hand not long before he died. Police detective Eira Sjödin, along with her boss, Georg "GG" Georgsson, and her other colleagues, cover all kinds of territory, geographical and cultural, as they look for clues into what becomes a murder inquiry. Various personal issues—Eira's mother is in a care home with dementia, her brother is in prison for manslaughter, and she's attracted to the much older GG—slow the action. The pace picks up after GG disappears. A strong sense of place—in particular, the remote, sparsely populated north of Sweden—helps compensate for the meandering narrative and the author's sometimes clumsy efforts to impose profundity and unearth big themes about societal change (for example, a mining company's expansion becomes a seismic metaphor about dislocating communities). Scandi noir fans will hope for a tighter plot next time.
