A Dive
The story of Ruben Waara continues in Matti Remes’ sixth thriller. Over thirty years old crime against the environment uncovers in Hanko, the beautiful and most southern city in Finland. Poison shipped to DDR have been put in the Baltic sea and Ruben Waara gets unwillingly into highly dangerous situations before the gruesome truth behind the crime is revealed.
“Matti Remes has possibly written his best crime story – having a place with the top Scandinavian mystery novels without a doubt. The novel is a creeping suspense until the very last page.”
