The Department of Sensitive Crimes
McCall Smith, Alexander
"The detectives who work in Malmo Police's Department of Sensitive Crimes take their job very seriously. The lead detective
Ulf Varg
prioritizes his cases above even his dog's mental health. Then there are detectives Anna Bengsdotter
who keeps her relationship with Varg professional even as she realizes she's developing feelings for him . . . or at least for his car
and Carl Holgersson
first to arrive in the morning and last to leave
who would never read his colleagues' personal correspondence--unless it could help solve a crime
of course. Finally
there's Erik Nykvist
who peppers conversations with anecdotes about fly fishing. Along with an opinionated local police officer named Blomquist
the Department of Sensitive Crimes takes on three extremely strange cases. First
the detectives investigate how and why a local business owner was stabbed . . . in the back of the knee. Next
a young woman's imaginary boyfriend goes missing. And
in the final investigation
Varg must determine whether nocturnal visitations at a local spa have a supernatural element."--
