The fifth and final Inspector Barbarotti novel from bestselling author Håkan Nesser, in which Inspector Barbarotti is given a cold case concerning the infamous Axe Woman of Little Burma.
Håkan Nesser is one of Sweden's most popular crime writers, receiving numerous awards for his novels featuring Inspector Van Veeteren, including the European Crime Fiction Star Award (Ripper Award), the Swedish Crime Writers' Academy Prize (three times) and Scandinavia's Glass Key Award. His Van Veeteren series is published in over twenty-five countries and has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. In addition to the popular Van Veeteren series, his other books include the psychological thriller The Living and the Dead in Winsford and The Barbarotti Series. Håkan Nesser lives in Gotland with his wife, and visits the UK regularly.
Some aficionados would argue that the Swede Hakan Nesser is the
most accomplished writer in the [Nordic noir] field today, and The
Axe Woman is choice fare . . . So much to praise here: the steady
accumulation of suspense, the assured characterisation and the
elegant prose, perfectly rendered by translator Sarah Death
