Synopsis
Described by McCall Smith as ‘Scandi-Blancâ€, a counterbalance to the bleakness of some Scandinavian crime fiction, this novel introduces Ulf Varg of the Malmö police. While his eccentric team investigate unusual cases, the detective discusses his depressed, lip-reading dog with his therapist.

Soon, Ulf and his colleagues find themselves investigating an attack on a market trader, the disappearance of a handsome man who may not exist and a group of students whose relationships leave a great deal to be desired . . .
