Van Veeteren Mysteries Book 10 by Hakan Nesser. The final stunning mystery in the Swedish star's landmark Inspector Van Veeteren series: can Van Veeteren ever hope to find the solution to the case that has evaded him all these years - The G File? 1987. Maarten Verlangan, a former cop turned private detective is hired by a woman to follow her husband. The request is hardly unusual; but then two events occur that turn everything on its head. First, Verlangan realises that Barbara's husband Jaan 'G' Hennan is a man he helped put in prison many years before; and then, a few days later, Barbara is found dead at the bottom of an empty swimming pool...Maardam police, led by Chief Inspector Van Veeteren, investigate the case. Like Verlangan, Van Veeteren has encountered Jaan 'G' Hennan before and knows only too well the man's dark capabilities. When it is then discovered that G is due to receive a huge insurance pay-out following his wife's 'accidental' death - and further information about his shadowy past comes to light - Van Veeteren becomes more desperate than ever to convict him. But Verlangan himself witnessed G sitting in a restaurant at the time of Barbara's fatal plummet - and no one else can be found in relation to the crime...2002. Fifteen years have passed and The G File remains the one case former Chief Inspector Van Veeteren has never been able to solve. But when Verlangan's daughter reports the private detective missing, Van Veeteren returns to Maardam CID once more. For all Verlangan left behind was a cryptic note; and a telephone message in which he claimed to have finally discovered the proof of G's murderous past...A dark, ambitious and hugely gripping crime thriller, The G File is the stunning final instalment in the landmark Van Veeteren series.
