David Lagercrantz
When Samuel Lidman spots his wife—who was confirmed dead fourteen years ago—in the background of a friend's holiday photo, he brings it to disgraced former professor and government consultant Hans Rekke and his unofficial partner—and temporary roommate—Detective Micaela Vargas. Their initial skepticism gives way to cautious belief—but where will this case lead them?
Meanwhile, Rekke's daughter, Julia, has a new boyfriend she's determined to keep secret. When word gets out, Micaela's world collapses around her, and Rekke is forced to confront a powerful nemesis from his youth.
Plunging us back into the political upheaval and financial crisis of the 1990s, as the iron curtain is finally lifted, the second Rekke and Vargas Investigation sees our heroes grapple with a fiendish case that affects them both in profoundly personal ways.

Critic Reviews
“In Lagercrantz’s excellent second investigation for Stockholm police officer Micaela Vargas and professor Hans Rekke. . . . [they] echo Holmes and Watson in more ways than one—but [Lagercrantz] departs from Conan Doyle’s template with a complex, borderline-baroque mystery plot, to thrilling effect. By the end of the pulse-pounding denouement, readers will be breathless for the next installment.”
—Publisher’s Weekly (starred review)
“Quirky and satisfying. . . . A distinctive Swedish duo returns. . . . Readers will enjoy hating this villain, who would have fit perfectly in a James Bond movie. . . . Tension builds to a crescendo in this well-crafted novel.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“A shocking and spectacular work whose serpentine plot stretches from Stockholm’s meaner streets to the upper reaches of global politics.”
