'Has anyone seen Andreas?'

Andreas's disappearance is a mystery to all, including his inseparable friend Zipp. But its not easy for Zipp to come forward with details of the last time he saw his friend - they had been following an old woman, an easy target for some quick cash, and Andreas boldly followed her into her home brandishing his knife, the next moment he was gone. Zipp waited anxiously outside but Andreas failed to reappear.

Inspector Sejer and his colleague Skarre are baffled but while the confusion in the outside world continues, a chilling and heart-stopping drama is unfolding inside the old woman's home. In a plot in the tradition of Stephen King, Fossum deploys her trademark skill of looking realistically, terrifyingly, into the minds of criminal and victim.

Appearances aren't always to be believed, and people are not always what they seem.

I loved the format of this story, the way in which we have the sequence of events from the both victim & the perpetrator's view - though which is which? Both characters could be equally capable of being described as either!

Then there's also police investigation running alongside....fronted by the unflappable Inspecto Sejer & assisted by Jacob Skarre, they ably work out the connections between a series of apparently random events.

A compelling psychological tale....fans of Ruth Rendell will love it!
