Summary
Claire Lidman died fourteen years ago.
So why does she appear in the background of a recent holiday snap taken in Venice?
Her husband brings the anomaly to Hans Rekke and Micaela Vargas. Initial scepticism gives way to cautious belief, but Rekke is falling apart again and Vargas has her own problems. Her gangster brother is threatening to silence her if she doesn’t get off his case.
Meanwhile, Rekke’s daughter Julia has a new boyfriend…

Critics Review
Excellent … Part of the fun is Lagercrantz’s deliberate use of Holmesian tropes -there’s a Moriarty-like criminal mastermind, and Vargas and Rekke echo Holmes and Watson in more ways than one - but he departs from Conan Doyle’s template with a complex, borderline-baroque mystery plot, to thrilling effect. By the end of the pulse-pounding denouement, readers will be breathless for the next installment * Publishers Weekly *
