Borkmann's rule was hardly a rule; in fact, it was more of a
comment, a landmark for tricky cases ... In every investigation, he
maintained, there comes a point beyond which we don't really need
any more information. When we reach that point, we already know
enough to solve the case by means of nothing more than some decent
thinking. A seedy ex-con and a wealthy real-estate mogul are
brutally murdered with an axe in the quiet coastal town of
Kaalbringen. Chief Inspector van Veeteren, bored of his holiday
nearby, is summoned to assist the local authorities. But there
seems to be nothing to link the victims. Another body is
discovered, again with no obvious connection, and the pressure
mounts. The local police chief, just days away from retirement, is
determined to wrap things up before he goes. Then there's a fourth
murder, and a brilliant young female detective goes missing -
perhaps she has reached Borkmann's Point before anyone else ...This
riveting novel, full of fascinating, quirky characters and vivid
settings, introduces the chess-playing Inspector van Veeteren - a
detective already beloved by his European readership - and marks
the UK debut of Hakan Nesser, a chilling new voice in crime
fiction. On this showing, Inspector Van Veeteren seems destined for
a place amongst the great European detectives - Colin Dexter,
creator of Inspector Morse.
