Eva Magnus and her daughter are out walking by the river when a man's body floats to the water's surface. Eva goes to call the police, but when she reaches the phone, she dials another number altogether.


The police find the body anyway. Inspector Sejer and his team quickly determine that the man, Egil, died in a violent attack. But Egil has been missing for months, and the trail to his killer is cold. It's as puzzling as another unsolved case on Sejer's desk: the murder of a prostitute, found dead just before Egil went missing. Sejer sets to work piecing together these two impossible cases. It's not long before he realizes that they aren't as separate as they previously seemed.

      This first (1995) in the Police Inspector Konrad Sejer series is engagingly presented by Steven Crossley. His warm, conversational style is ideal for Sejer, who is always calm and considerate, no matter the situation. When Oslo artist Eva Magnus finds a body floating in the river and fails to report it, Sejer is puzzled. Crossley excels at portraying Eva's father, a tired but spirited old gent whom Eva is close to. However, Crossley's best creation is Maja Durban, Eva's old school friend who has become a prostitute. When she's murdered, Eva decides to investigate. Listeners accompany her as she closes in on the killer--or killers. Crossley's understated narration of the story's climax is far more terrifying than a highly emotional one. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine

      Originally published in Norway in 1995, Fossum’s entertaining first Insp. Konrad Sejer mystery is finally available in English (after 2012’s The Caller, the eighth series entry to be published in the U.S.). While walking along the riverbank of an unnamed small town, divorced artist Eva Magnus and her seven-year-old daughter, Emma, spot a dead body floating in the river. In front of the inquisitive Emma, Eva pretends to call the police, but instead calls her father. When the police discover that the body is that of a murdered prostitute who used to be a friend of Eva’s, suspicions arise. Eva’s transition from struggling painter and single mother to something new and unpredictable will delight fans searching for the next diverting Scandinavian mystery. While Eva steals the center stage from Sejer, her increasingly fraught decisions give this dark police procedural warmth despite the frigid environs.
