Strange Bird

ebook
"Cold shivers run down my spine after reading just a few pages …"—Göteborgs Tidningen

Ruben Nilsson stepped outside into the dusk of a summer’s evening, knocked his pipe against the veranda railing and looked around the garden. Had he known how short was the time he would be allowed to live, he might have been less leisurely.

As the bird flu pandemic reaches Gotland Island, panic spreads among the inhabitants who are frantic for an elusive cure. In the desperation that rises, the hunt for scapegoats begins, and extremist and anti-immigrant groups gain ground. Meanwhile, nurse Sandra Hägg makes a gruesome discovery at the health clinic where she works—a discovery that will cost her life. Soon Detective Inspector Maria Wern is assigned to solve the murder. Strange Bird, the first novel in the Maria Wern series in English, showcases Jansson’s mastery of both hair-raising crimes and the inner lives of her beloved characters.
