Description

A boy disappears right out of school. Journalist Eloise Caldon will have to put aside her article about soldiers with PTSD to investigate Lucas’s disappearance. When two of her tasks—the article and the search—begin to intertwine, Eloise asks for help from an old friend, Erik Scheffer. Together, they must figure out what role the military plays in the boy’s disappearance—and who the “Apple Man” is that the school kids are talking about.
“Face Collector” is the second novel in the series by Anne Mette Hancock about Eloise Caldon and Erik Scheffer. This is a harsh Scandinavian crime novel about strong women, a story of crimes, revenge, and retribution—shedding new light on a hard-edged thriller while shifting the focus away from the figure of the grim, bearded policeman toward ordinary women: journalists, investigators, programmers—who, under pressure and often against the opinions of those around them, push the investigation to a new level.
