Irene Huss is a former jujitsu champion, a mother of twin teenage girls, the wife of a successful chef, and a detective inspector with the Violent Crimes Unit in Goteborg, Sweden. And now she's back.

One nurse lies dead and another vanishes after their hospital is hit by a blackout. The only witness claims to have seen Nurse Tekla doing her rounds, but Nurse Tekla died sixty years ago. Detective Inspector Irene Huss of the Violent Crimes Unit has the challenge of disentangling wandering ghosts and complex human relationships to get to the bottom of this intriguing case.

A cult hit in the first three novels of the series, the Irene Huss novels are available once again for English-language fans.

      A private hospital and a murder are the perfect combination--add a blackout at midnight, and the resultant chills refuse to be quelled. Soon Irene Huss of Goteborg's Violent Crimes Unit, who is also a jujitsu champion, is on the trail of a ghost. Suzanne Toren's splendid narration captures fascinating Swedish police procedures and the ever increasing sense of menace as bodies and confusion mount. The warmth of Irene's family life (including descriptions of her chef-husband's luscious food) is the perfect counterpoint to the story's bleak plot and climate. Best of all is Toren's rendering of Mama Bird, a mentally ill witness whose spirited description is the main link to the murderer. Many will enjoy this grand addition to the Huss series. S.G.B.

      Starred review from December 12, 2011
      A self-effacing but effective lead plus a complex whodunit plot add up to a superior Scandinavian crime novel, Tursten’s fourth featuring Det. Insp. Irene Huss (after 2007’s The Glass Devil). When a nurse, Marianne Svärd, is found strangled at a small hospital in Göteborg after a blackout that also claimed the life of a patient who was on a respirator, the night nurse on duty, Siv Persson, tells the police an incredible story. While the power was out, Persson claims she saw the ghost of a nurse who committed suicide in the hospital 50 years earlier after having an affair with a surgeon. While Huss and her team instantly dismiss a supernatural explanation, she becomes convinced that the motive for Svärd’s slaying stems from the hospital’s past. Tursten does an outstanding job of offering multiple plausible murderers, making this the rare procedural that actually requires the reader to evaluate alibis, motives, and means to solve the case. Agent: Anneli Hoier.
