2000s: The second in the Detective Inspector Huss series.
One nurse lies dead and another vanishes after their hospital is hit by a blackout. The only witness claims to have seen Nurse Dekla doing her rounds – the only problem is that Nurse Dekla died 60 years ago.
It’s up to Detective Inspector Irene Huss of the Violent Crimes Unit to get to the bottom of this, as she faces the challenge of disentangling wandering ghosts and complex human relationships to get to the bottom of this intriguing case.
Gothenburg is the stomping ground for a take-no-nonsense female DI. Huss is the name – and she works in the Violent Crimes division of the city police. The hospital in this second novel is ficitonal but there are a few hospitals in the city you could imagine instead!
The streets of Gothenburg are mean if you see them through the eyes of DI Huss. She means business and this means working on some tough cases and investigating criminals across the city. This one occurs in the very place you are meant to feel safe!
Irene Huss is quite the Swedish cop: “Irene Huss is a 40-something wife, mother, cop, detective and judo expert.”
She is a woman working in a male dominated and very sexist police department. The case here is full of cases that have been in the Swedish Press over the years such as skinheads, Hell’s Angels and all against a background of winter darkness..
