Description

You´re never too old to become a private detective.

Gunvor Strom may be in her sixties, her hands might be too shaky to perform operations and her body complains every time she works out. But her mind is as sharp as her scalpel.

And she embraces change. After the divorce, she moved from an affluent Stockholm suburb to inner-city Fruängen. It gets a little lively, but she likes being in the middle of things. She´s smart, experienced, and innocent-looking - all qualities appreciated by a detective agency.

She gets a case that looks routine. To help her, she finds herself two unlikely allies. David is a young, jobless waster who hangs about Fruängen tube station. 19-year-old Elin is shy and introvert, after spending too long in her bedroom hiding from her parents´ fights.

Out of curiosity they join forces with Gunvor. Who´s going to notice two young people and an elderly lady slinking around in the Stockholm streets?

Only someone who´s watching their every move, biding his time, waiting to pounce. Curiosity can be deadly.

A story of violence, madness, passion, and bravery. A cat-and-mouse game of life and death.

Rich in character, location, and intrigue. Looking for Alice is the gripping first book in The Gunvor Ström Series by Swedish author Luna Miller.

You´re never too old to become a private detective.
