Fabian Risk doesn't know when to quit, he is like the energizer bunny he just keeps going and so does his first book, it just keeps going.

Risk has moved back to his hometown, to assume a job as a detective, after losing his job in Stockholm as a cop. It appears that someone is killing members of his high school class. Risk, who seems not to have a wit of good sense immediately becomes involved in the case, thinking that his new working companions are a bunch of dead beats. There are so many things going on in this story it sometimes is hard to keep track of the story line. While I enjoyed the book, the character Fabian Risk was at times grating, it way too long.

I will probably read the second book in the series and see how that goes, if it's like the first it may be the last.
