BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |  Lars Kepler Publicado: 2010 | 494 páginas Novela Intriga Policial Serie: Joona Linna #2 /sSXEUHPnD_G4 Hay contratos que no se pueden romper, ni siquiera cuando estás muerto… Una mujer aparece misteriosamente muerta en una embarcación de recreo en el archipiélago de Estocolmo. Su cuerpo está seco, pero la autopsia demuestra que sus pulmones están llenos de agua. Al día siguiente, Carl Palmcrona, director general del ISP, organismo de Inspección de Productos Estratégicos de Suecia, aparece ahorcado en su casa. Parece flotar en el aire mientras suena una enigmática música de violín por todo el apartamento. No tenía familia. Nadie le frecuentaba fuera de la oficina. Nadie sabe nada. El detective Joona Linna será el encargado de intentar establecer un vínculo entre estos dos sucesos que, a primera vista, no tienen demasiada relación entre sí, pero que él conseguirá conectar y destapar así una trama escalofriante. libreriarofer | Jul 16, 2023 | There are at least three themes being pursued and the action alternates among them. I got impatient with the breaks in the search for the missing woman, but kept hoping the strands would come together in a meaningful way. I got my wish as her disappearance is tied to the sale of Swedish weapons to Darfur, Africa, and finding her will result in stopping the sale. The audio version is wonderfully narrated by Saul Reichlin. His presentation adds to the excitement of the action and his accents made the characters more realistic. (  ) terran | Aug 29, 2022 | This plot follows two sisters, one is found dead and the other is on the run with her boyfriend. For me I am now 150 pages in and I am just not getting on with it. Firstly the book is a chunk of 500 pages which isn't normally a problem but this time I'm finding it a bit daunting. Reading other reviews some are saying the book is too long and I just don't fancy reading something that hasn't engaged me. One star is probably a bit unfair, but as the book is going to be a DNF with no incentive to pick up at another time, the one star is how I rate this situation.

En generaldirektør med ansvar for svensk våpeneksport, blir funnet hengt i sin leilighet på Østermalm. Samtidig blir en ung kvinne funnet druknet om bord på en fritidsbåt som driver rundt i Stockholms skjærgård. Et fotografi blir bindeledd mellom de to sakene, men politimann Joona Linna må jobbe hardt for å finne andre spor som belyser de uforklarlige dødsfallene. Han får god hjelp av Saga Bauer, og sammen retter de snart oppmerksomheten mot en problemløser og yrkesmorder. Sentralt står kynisk kriminalitet i kjølvannet av internasjonal våpeneksport.Bokens tittel er inspirert av fiolinvirtuosen Paganini. Ifølge myten fikk Paganini sine evner etter å ha inngått en kontrakt med djevelen. I Paganinikontrakten møter vi mennesker som stilles overfor grunnleggende moralske dilemmaer, og som forholder seg til dem på høyst ulik måte. Resultatet er en velskrevet, dramatisk krimroman med samfunnskritisk brodd og stor underholdningskraft. Is contained inAwards
