The Talented Mr. Varg

(Author) Alexander McCall Smith
Format: Paperback
Price: £0.00

Spring is coming slowly to Sweden - though not quite as slowly as Detective Ulf Varg's promised promotion at the Department of Sensitive Crimes. For Varg, referred by his psychoanalyst to group therapy at Malmo's Wholeness Centre, life now seems mostly a circle of self-examination: something which may or may not be useful when it comes to the nature of his profession, and the particularly sensitive cases that have recently come to light. One of his new investigations involves fellow detective Anna Bengsdotter; it will require every ounce of self-discipline he has in order to remain professional. The other, more curious case is centred around internationally successful novelist Nils Personn-Cederstrom. According to his girlfriend, Cederstrom is being blackmailed - but by whom, and for what reason?
