About “The Mind's Eye”
The first novel in the Inspector Van Veeteren series. Janek Mitter wakes with a hangover to find his wife of three months dead in the bathtub and is convicted of a drunken crime of passion. When Mitter himself becomes a murder victim, Van Veeteren investigates both killings, aided by a mysterious letter Mitter wrote before his death.
Praise for “The Mind's Eye”
“Lean, atmospheric and full of existential uncertainty. . . . Nesser isn't interested in life's pretty offerings. His detectives expect the worst because they have seen the world go wrong too often.”
“Snappish, sardonic, unsentimental, depressed, and quite possibly psychic, Van Veeteren is the most appealingly unlovable hero since TV's crabby physician House.”
