Seller's Description:
New York. 2009. April 2009. Pantheon. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780375425042. Translated from the Swedish by Laurie Thompson. 341 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Brian Barth. keywords: Mystery Literature Sweden Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER-A mother's dying wish sealed with a deadly promise. Four men with a secret they thought they'd buried decades ago. A detective in love. A man desperate to live despite the shadow of his guilty past. After hearing her mother's deathbed confession and following the dreary funeral, Maria Adler realizes she has no other option but to seize upon her mother's imperative to do something. Dissolving the life she loathes, Maria changes her appearance and disappears. When she emerges, revenge is her sole occupation. Inspector Van Veeteren and his associates are left bewildered by the curious murder of a man shot twice in the heart and twice below the belt. He was a quiet, utterly dull man, and the only suspicious activity his wife can recall is a series of peculiar phone calls. Repeatedly the telephone would ring, offering nothing but the words of an obscure pop song from the 1960s. This siren song is linked to an identical murder, but the true link between these heinous crimes remains unknown, while a daughter's pride grows with the satisfaction of vengeance and another detective's lover offers telling insights that only an outsider could deduce. With the critical eye and cool observation necessary for a successful chess match, Van Veeteren pursues his subject across the country, wading through the outrageous leads and fruitless tips. A breathless thriller full of deception, blackmail, and cold murder, WOMAN WITH BIRTHMARK is a chilling read. inventory #37569.
