Winner of the Swedish Crime Academy Award for Best Crime Novel, The Princess of Burundi introduces readers to a leading crime writer from Sweden whose work has created an international sensation. A week before Christmas a Swedish town is rocked by the brutal murder of John Jonsson, a local family man. Detectives, led by the very pregnant Inspector Ann Lindell, at first suspect a chillingly well-drawn psychotic, and they may be right. But if they are not right, that leaves a cunning and vicious murderer on the loose in their town. A page-turner from start to finish.
