The final stunning mystery in the Swedish star's landmark Inspector Van Veeteren series: can Van Veeteren ever hope to find the solution to the case that has evaded him all these years - the G File?

This was all about the G file. Nothing else, he decided. No vague personal motives, no circumlocutions, just the one familiar question that had been dogging him for fifteen years.
Who killed Barbara Clarissa Hennan?


After fifteen years, the G File remains the one case former Chief Inspector Van Veeteren has never been able to solve. But when a woman reports her father - a private detective linked to the investigation - missing, Van Veeteren returns to Maardam CID once more.

Jaan 'G' Hennan remains the prime suspect in the case and Van Veeteren knows only too well the man's dark capabilities. Will the former detective be able to keep his head and finally solve this terrible crime?

Praise for the Van Veeteren series

'Nesser is one of the best of the Nordic Noir writers, unafraid of moral ambiguity and excellent at building a brooding atmosphere' Guardian

'Exhibits a skill and consistency rare in crime fiction' Sunday Times

'Fifteen years earlier, a woman hired a detective to follow her husband, known as G to the police. Days later, she was dead. G was tried and cleared of her murder, but now, all these years later, the private detective disappears, leaving a note hinting he knows how G got away with murder. This is the final book in the series, but Nesser resists a showy finale, allowing his detective nearly to be outsmarted by an immensely clever criminal.
