"Gornostájev, es usted un hombre con cara de asesino", le dijeron en sus tiempos en el ejército soviético. Hoy, su nombre es Viktor Kärppä, pero la cara sigue siendo la misma. Vive en los límites de la ley y resuelve algunos casos de investigación privada, como encontrar a Sirje, la esposa desaparecida de Aarne Larsson, que resulta ser la hermana del traficante estonio Jaak Lillepuu, el terror del mar Báltico. Entre los recuerdos agridulces de la patria, las amenazas del inspector Korhonen, y los encargos sucios de Ryzhkov, mafioso de pocas palabras y muchos secretos, vuelve el pasado a presentar la cuenta con un recado que lleva la firma de un ex agente de la KGB y que puede implicar también a Marja, la estudiante inconformista de la que está enamorado. Met de hakken over de sloot, maar volgende keer beter. Volledige bespreking via http://wraakvandedodo.blogspot.com/2010/06/matti-ronka-grensgeval.html nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

According to the archives of the Soviet Special Forces (in which he once served), Viktor Kärppä has "the look of a killer." Except he really isn't one, notwithstanding his ability to sever a man's windpipe. Despite his messy past, Kärppä now has an orderly life as an entrepreneur in Helsinki. His girlfriend Marja, an academic, also prefers a peaceful existence. Kärppä helps members of the downtrodden Ingrian community--ethnic Finns emigrating from Russia--adjust to their new surroundings. Thus his dream of tranquility is regularly thwarted by Finns and Russians on both sides of the law who know too much about him. When he agrees to find an antique dealer's missing wife, Kärppä discovers the woman is the sister of a notorious gangster; so begins his descent into a criminal underworld replete with drug lords, former KGB operatives, and other heavies. Suddenly nothing is as it was--not least with Marja, now aware that her man's line of work is unlikely to bode well for a healthy relationship . . . Matti Rönkä's intelligent way with the crime genre reveals hidden worlds within Finland, wrapping a compelling plot around these dark places and inserting into them his hapless antihero, a tough guy yearning for a second chance. Matti Rönkäis a Finnish TV journalist and novelist. He is the only Finn to have received the prestigious Glass Key Award for writers of Nordic crime fiction. He has anchored a daily news program since 2003, earning the nickname "Suomen ääni" ("Voice of Finland"). Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
