The dead man landed on the sidewalk in front of his luxurious duplex apartment. He was a wealthy financier connected, through an old-boys’ network, with the first families of Sweden. But the \"Society Suicide\" turns out to have been a carefully plotted murder. As more murders ensue, she tangles with street gang members, skinheads, immigrants and neo-Nazis—a cross-section of Sweden’s disaffected—in order to catch the killer.\n\nHelene Tursten has been compared to P.D. James in her native Sweden. Her three subsequent Irene Huss mysteries have been highly praised. She was born in Göteborg in 1954 where she now lives.\n\nFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 156947303X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.156947303X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Helene Tursten|Steven T.
