The Department of

Sensitive Crimes : A
Detective Varg novel
 By
Alexander McCall Smith
Little, Brown Book Group
 The first book in Alexander McCall Smith's new Detective Varg
series . . .

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo introduced us to Scandi noir. Now,
welcome to Alexander McCall Smith's world of Scandi blanc, where
mysteries abound and there is still so much for a Swedish detective
to learn.

Ulf Varg works in Malmoe's Department of Sensitive Crimes. Like

all Scandinavian detectives, he has his issues. In this case, these
include his unresolved feelings for his colleague Anna, his
impatience over the seeming incompetence of his irritating
colleague Blomquist and his concerns for the health of his hearing-
impaired dog Martin, the only dog in Sweden (and possibly all
Scandinavia) who can lip-read.

Soon, Ulf and his colleagues find themselves investigating an attack

on a market trader, the disappearance of a handsome man who may
not exist and a group of students whose relationships leave a great
deal to be desired . . .
