From the author of Looker comes this razor-sharp suspense about two
librarians whose lives become dangerously intertwined.
No one knows Margo's real name. Her colleagues and patrons at a
small-town public library only know her middle-aged normalcy,
congeniality and charm. They have no reason to suspect that she is, in
fact, a former nurse with a trail of countless premature deaths in her
wake. She has turned a new page, so to speak, and the library is her
sanctuary, a place to quell old urges.
That is, at least, until Patricia, a recent graduate and failed
novelist, joins the library staff. Patricia quickly notices Margo's
subtly sinister edge and watches her carefully. When a patron's death
in the library bathroom offers a hint of Margo's mysterious past,
Patricia can't resist digging deeper - even as this new fixation
becomes all-consuming.
Taut and compelling, How Can I Help You explores the dark side of human
nature and the dangerous pull of artistic obsession.

'One of the best Nordic Noir writers' Guardian A trip behind the
Iron Curtain would change their lives forever . . . It begins in
1969. Six young people arrive in Uppsala, Sweden. Different
circumstances push the three young couples together and, over the
course of a few years, they become friends. But a summer trip
through Eastern Europe changes everything, and when their time at
Uppsala University is over it also signals the end of something
else. Years later, a lecturer at Lund University is found dead at
the bottom of a cliff in the woods close to Kymlinge. And
chillingly, it is the very same spot where one of the Uppsala
students died thirty-five years before. Detective Inspector Gunnar
Barbarotti takes on this ominous case of history repeating itself,
and is forced to confront an increasingly grave reality. The Lonely
Ones is the fourth novel of Hakan Nesser's quintet about Inspector
Gunnar Barbarotti.
