The mutilated body of a man wearing only a bridal veil is discovered in a backyard swing, a woman lay dead inside the house. When the murders go unsolved, private eye Jussi Vares is hired to look into this “Swinging Bride†case.
This gig takes Vares, a wisecracking, tough-on-the-outside Private Investigator and his colorful group of friends deep inside the underworld run by an intimidating and elusive “Sheriff,†where Vares meets a mysterious woman on a motorcycle.
The Sheriff, Finland’s 2012 Crime Novel of the Year, is filled with humor, suspense, insights into Finnish culture, and a nod to America’s Wild West.
Reijo Mäki’s humor-filled and witty Vares novels have made him one of Finland’s most popular authors; 9 of the 26 in this series have been made into movies. Mäki has also written 10 other novels.
