2000s: A photograph can tell so many stories
2000s: A photograph can tell so many stories
Two men have been murdered. Both of them were school bullies when they were younger. Plenty of people would have wanted them dead. A single clue has been found at the scene: a class photo from 1982, with two faces neatly crossed out.
Fabian Risk is the lead detective on the case. He’s also one of the children in the photograph. As more people die, and more faces are crossed out, it becomes clear that a serial killer is targeting old classmates one by one. Fabian Risk thought he’d left his schooldays behind… Now he must confront his past if he is to find the killer before its too late.
Historic Helsingborg, with its many old buildings, is a scenic coastal city. The buildings are a blend of old-style stone-built churches and a 600-year-old medieval fortress (Kärnan) in the city centre, and more modern commercial buildings.
Kullagatan, the main pedestrian shopping street in the city, was the first pedestrian shopping street in Sweden. This is where Fabian returns to in the novel:
“There was a beautiful view of the Sound and they could see all the way to Denmark. It was much more beautiful than Fabian remembered. The boardwalk had been widened over the years and was full of people enjoying a stroll in the light evening breeze.”
This patch of sand he finds out is now called Tropical Beach , one of Helesingborg’s most popular stretches of coastline. He felt he had moved to a totally new city.”
You can sit here as the characters do and watch the boats en route from Helsingbors to Helsingor, where they could go to Kronberg Castle
