Fatal Gambit

Description

When a dead woman appears—very much alive—in a recent photograph, mismatched crime-solving duo Rekke and Vargas are drawn into a dangerous mystery, from the bestselling author of The Girl in the Spider’s Web.

When Samuel Lidman spots his wife—who was confirmed dead fourteen years ago—in the background of a friend’s holiday photo, he brings it to disgraced former professor and government consultant Hans Rekke and his unofficial partner—and temporary roommate—Detective Micaela Vargas. Their initial skepticism gives way to cautious belief—but where will this case lead them?

Meanwhile, Rekke’s daughter, Julia, has a new boyfriend she’s determined to keep secret. When word gets out, Micaela’s world collapses around her, and Rekke is forced to confront a powerful nemesis from his youth.

Plunging us back into the political upheaval and financial crisis of the 1990s, as the iron curtain is finally lifted, the second Rekke and Vargas Investigation sees our heroes grapple with a fiendish case that affects them both in profoundly personal ways.DAVID LAGERCRANTZ is an acclaimed author and journalist.
