Irene Huss - 4: Glasdjävulen

Meer over het boek

The principal of a high school contacts Inspector Andersson of the Göteborg Crime Police when a teacher fails to show up for work. Inspector Irene Huss is surprised when her boss insists on investigating a remote cottage in southern Sweden, where they discover the body of teacher Jacob Schyttelius, murdered with a rifle. Breaking the news to his elderly parents, they find the couple dead in their beds, each shot between the eyes, with upside-down pentagrams drawn in blood on their computer screens. The only surviving family member, the daughter living in London, is too distraught to be interviewed. The investigation raises questions: Is the killer part of a satanic cult? Could it be the parish treasurer rumored to be embezzling funds, or an assistant pastor seeking a promotion? Perhaps the attractive blonde church singer who practices witchcraft? Huss suspects the key to solving this triple homicide lies in England, prompting her to travel there twice in search of answers. The author, known for her engaging police procedurals, has had her works adapted for television and film. She resides in Göteborg with her husband.
