Linda, As In The Linda Murder: A Backstrom Novel (Backstrom Series)

The irascible, obdurate, and very thirsty Detective Superintendent Evert B?ckstr?m of the National Murder Squad returns in a new novel from the reigning master of Scandinavian fiction. It?s the dead of summer in the sleepy town of V?xj? when twenty-year-old police cadet Linda Wallin is found lying facedown in her mother?s apartment, brutally murdered and raped. With no clear motive or suspect in sight, a series of bureaucratic mix-ups causes the National Crime Unit to send B?ckstr?m and his team into the countryside to solve the case. The ever-irritable B?ckstr?m leaves his beloved goldfish behind, checks into a local hotel, and begins to reconstruct the night of Linda?s murder. But with more than a few bottles in tow, and a constantly growling stomach to look after, things don?t go so well, and B?ckstr?m has to rely on the help of his colleagues to solve the crime?no matter how angry that makes him.
