Souls of Air (Malin Fors 7)

by NeilSmith (Translator), Mons Kallentoft (Author)

Synopsis

Linkoeping's top detective, Malin Fors, is about to take on a case that's a little too close for comfort. Her daughter has just discovered a dead body. It is that of a 79-year-old resident at the nursing home where she works. He's been hanged by his own alarm cord.

At first it looks like a straightforward suicide. But when the autopsy suggests foul play, Malin uncovers some disturbing rumours about the home's management and its millionaire owner. Was it a mercy killing, or was someone trying to silence the victim?

Who could possibly benefit from the death of an elderly man? Only someone with a lot to gain - or a lot to lose...

Media Reviews
Praise for the Seasons series: * - *
Kallentoft's books have been called beautiful, exquisite and original. I can see why. * Literary Review *
One of the best-realised female heroines I've read by a male writer. * Guardian *
Meditative. Dark. Really, really cold . . . This is a worthy successor to Larsson's Millennium trilogy . . . This first installment in Kallentoft's crime series is a splendid representative of the Swedish crime novel, in all its elegance and eeriness. * Booklist Starred Review *
