Shadow

Detective: None
Location:: Stockholm
Time: Spans 1975 to present

The opening concerns a boy abandoned in a park in 1975. Eventually we come to conclude that he is the adult writer and drifter Kristofer. But what is the connection with the disfuncyional  family of the successful writer and nobel prize winner Ragnerfeldt and the natural death of their former housekeeper at the age of 92?

The puzzles are carefully unravelled. A disturbing read, but one that is compelling
