Dark Angel

Anders Knutas series 6

Summary

Family ties can bind dangerously tight

Viktor Algard was in love. Reckless in the grip of passion, he left his wife and grown-up children to be with his new lover. His last act was a celebratory drink at a glamorous party . . .

Inspector Anders Knutas must find out who on the island of Gotland hated Algard enough to poison him. At first Algard’s spurned wife seems like the obvious suspect. But a second attack confirms his suspicion that there’s a more complex motive behind the murder.

If Knutas is to catch the killer, he must discover the truth that lies hidden at the heart of a broken family – and face some secrets within his own.

  • Writers such as Henning Mankell may outsell Jungstedt in the UK, but - if there is any justice - she will not remain caviar to the general
