The Man Who Wasn't There




A new series from internationally bestselling authors, Hjorth & Rosenfeldt, creators of hit television shows, Wallander, The Bridge and ITV's Marcella, starring Anna Friel. Following the publication of their most recent novel The Silent Girl, each of the books in this series held three of the top five spots on the official Norwegian bestseller list.

Six bodies are found on a Swedish mountain - and a cold case rapidly heats up...

FROM THE ACCLAIMED CREATORS OF WALLANDER and THE BRIDGE

Six skeletons on a mountainside. The relics of a terrible crime committed long ago.

For Sebastian Bergman, that just makes the investigation into who they are, who killed them, and why, even more complex. At first the investigation was a chance to escape his ex-girlfriend and spend some time with his daughter, Vanja. An opportunity to try and build a relationship with her before it's too late.

But soon he finds that he's more involved than he would ever want to be. And his personal life is horribly, disastrously tangled up in it all . . .
