Title: Never End
Description: New York: Viking Adult, 2006. First English Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. ISBN: 0670037664. Light wear to book and dust jacket ; DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. A bright, solid book ; Chief Inspector Erik Winter Novels; 1.4 x 9.1 x 6 Inches; 308 pages; "Detective Erik Winter is back, chasing a copycat murderer in a gritty procedural from one of Europe's most popular crime writers. Åke Edwardson is a European master of the stylish and gritty crime novel. In 'Never End', the second Erik Winter novel to be translated into English, a heat wave is smothering the Swedish coastal city of Gothenburg. School is out, and parks and beaches are teeming with people. But a spate of unsolved rape/murders casts a disturbing shadow on this particular summer. Chief Inspector Erik Winter, now forty-one and a father, assembles the scant but grisly details of the crimes, and begins to see an eerie connection to a five-year-old unsolved rape/murder, a case he, in typically obsessive fashion, has refused to let go cold. Has the same rapist reemerged to taunt the police and flaunt his stolen freedom, or are these copycat crimes? In the absence of any hard leads, and haunted by the case he could not solve, Winter desperately hunts for a link bridging the victims, convinced that each crime holds the key to the others. Someone knows more than they are letting on, and Winter knows they are running out of time. 'Never End' is a chilling, moody novel replete with Hitchcockian depictions of Gothenburg's vibrant summer spaces and seamy dark corners, that will appeal to readers of George Pelecanos and Elizabeth George.".
