An Inspector Van Veeteren Mystery

Mind's Eye

Maurice FitzGerald

it's so hard to find readable things. i've never read a series of books. i am happy this didn't suck.

Tracey O’Rourke

A pretty good police procedural, albeit a little on the light side. Not much character development, especially for the first in a series.

International Bestseller Hakan Nesser is firmly established as one of the world's bestselling crime novelists. And now the novel that introduced Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is available for the first time in English. The swift conviction left Van Veeteren uneasy: Janek Mitter woke one morning with a brutal hangover and his wife dead in the bathtub. With only the flimsiest defense, he is found guilty and imprisoned in a mental institution. But when Mitter is murdered in his bed, Van Veeteren regrets not following his gut and launches an investigation into the two murders. As the chief inspector delves deeper, the twisted root of these violent murders will shock even him.
