BORKMANN'S POINT International Bestseller Internationally bestselling author H¤kan Nesser makes his U.S. debut with this riveting  tale of murder and suspense that reveals the deep humanity of the characters portrayed  even as it sends chills up the spine. Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is called to  the sleepy coastal town of Kalbringen to assist the local police in the investigation  of two recent ax murders. Soon the case turns from bad to worse when another body  turns up and one of Van Veeterens colleagues, a young female detective, disappears  without a trace. Now Van Veeteren must find the killer, and, it is hoped, his colleague,  before anyone else comes to harm. Riveting and intellectually satisfying, Borkmanns  Point unfolds like a chess match where each move could prove deadly.
