LUCIFER'S TEARS
An Inspector Vaara Novel Book 2
Inspector Vaara series:
SNOW ANGELS (2009) - LUCIFER'S TEARS (2001) - HELSINKI WHITE (2012) - HELSINKI BLOOD (2013)
LUCIFER'S TEARS:
Inspector Kari Vaara returns, more haunted than ever, in the follow-up to Snow Angels, "a must for fans of the international crime novel" - Booklist
The Sufia Elmi case left Kari Vaara with a scarred face, chronic insomnia, a constant migraine, and a full body count's worth of ghosts. Now it's a year later, in Helsinki, and Kari is working the graveyard shift in the homicide unit, terrified his heavily pregnant wife will miscarry again after she lost the twins just after Christmas.
Kari is pushed into investigating a ninety-year-old national hero for war crimes committed during World War II. The Interior Minister demands a conclusion of innocence, preserving Finland's heroic perception about itself and its role in
World War II, but Germany wants extradition.
In a seeming coincidence, Kari is pulled into the murder-by-torture case of Iisa Filippov, the philandering wife of a Russian businessman. Her lover is clearly being framed for the crime - and Ivan Filippov's arrogance and nonchalance point the finger at him. But he's being protected from above, leading Kari to the corrupt corridors of power. Soon the past and present collide in ways no one could have anticipated.
"This book is wonderful. It took me right in, dropped me into a strange new world, and kept me captivated from first to last page. James Thompson has done a masterful job with SNOW ANGELS!" - Michael Connelly (about SNOW ANGELS)
James Thompso has lived in Finland for the past dozen years. Before becoming a full-time writer, Thompson studied Finnish, in which he is fluent, and Swedish, and worked as a bartender, bouncer, construction worker, photographer, rare coin dealer, and soldier.
