Suveigatsuse ja talvekülma vahel - Leif G. W. Persson

One Friday night in November, an American journalist falls from the fifteenth floor of his temporary residence, a dormitory in Stockholm. As a suicide, it is almost a perfect case, and a brief glance at the situation is enough for the Stockholm district police to come to the self-evident conclusion that the case must be closed. There is even a paper about the suicide, because the deceased had the courtesy to leave a farewell note. A bit strange, but surprisingly well-written considering the circumstances, almost poetic in tone: “My life has passed between summer longing and winter cold.” But the country's criminal police commissioner Lars Martin Johansson can't get the case out of his head. Moreover, he is unexpectedly and inexplicably involved in it. What began as an ordinary routine case develops into the largest murder investigation in Sweden's history through strange paths. The shocking and fascinating novel shows both the worst everyday life of the police, full of cynicism and crude language, and the amazing high-level police and political intrigues. The best-selling Swedish crime writer and criminologist Leif G. W. Persson has previously published in Estonian the trilogy about Commissioner Bäckström, “The Linda Murder Case” (2015), “Who Kills the Dragon” (2015) and “The True Story of Pinocchio’s Nose” (2015). In addition to the approval of readers, Persson has also won the Swedish Crime Novel Award for three years.
