Håkan Nessers Borkmanns Point is the gripping second novel in the compelling Van Veeteren series.Borkmanns rule was hardly a rule; in fact, it was more of a comment, a landmark for tricky cases . . . In every investigation, he maintained, there comes a point beyond which we dont really need any more information. When we reach that point, we already know enough to solve the case by means of nothing more than some decent thinking.Two men are brutally murdered with an axe in the quiet coastal town of Kaalbringen. Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is summoned to assist the local authorities, under a retiring local police chief eager to conclude his duties.But there is no clear link between the victims.
