A cold Sunday morning, a man is found murdered and hanged on the old city wall that surrounds Visby, capital of Gotland. The victim is art gallery owner Egon Wallin. When the famous painting “The Dying Dandy” is stolen in Stockholm, disturbing links to the murder of Egon Wallin slowly start to surface, taking the reader right into the exquisite Swedish art world and underworld of prostitution and drugs. Killer’s Art is set in the picturesque yet uncanny island Gotland, the Swedish equivalent to Martha’s Vineyard. In this hair-raising story, superintendant Anders Knutas is facing one of the toughest investigations in his career. With an intelligent plot and fast-paced, excruciating suspense, Mari Jungstedt is often compared to Minette Walters and Ruth Rendell. Her page-turning novels have made Jungstedt the second bestselling crime-in-translation author for Random House. With over 3 million copies sold, Jungstedt is a true queen of crime fiction.
