The Torso

The chilling third installment in the critically acclaimed Detective Inspector Huss series

A partial torso washes up on a Swedish beach, so mutilated that gender is only established through DNA testing. Detective Inspector Irene Huss of the G teborg Police liaises with her Danish counterparts, who have a similar unsolved murder in their files. But when people connected to Irene start turning up dead, she fears she might be next.

Helene Tursten was a nurse and a dentist before she turned to writing.

Her books have been translated into 18 languages. She was born in Göteborg, Sweden, where she now lives with her husband and daughter.
