|title=The Sins of Our Fathers: A Rebecka Martinsson Investigation
|author= Asa Larsson and Frank Perry (Translator)
|rating=5
|genre=Crime
|summary=Lars Pohjanen has only a few weeks to live but he's determined that Rebecka Martinsson is going to investigate the case of a body found in a freezer at the home of a deceased alcoholic. The problem is that the case has long passed the statute of limitations. Raimo Koskela disappeared without a trace in 1962. He was the father of Olympic boxing champion Borje Strom. Rebecka wants nothing to do with a fifty-year-old case on which she can take no action: the problem is that this is a dying man's wish. The situation changes when a post-mortem establishes that Henry Pekkari, the dead alcoholic, was also murdered. Is there a connection between the two deaths?

''The Other Half'' is the story of two men, both with what looks like the same surname. Rupert Beauchamp is the heir to a baronetcy and his thirtieth birthday party is a catered-with-butler event at McDonalds in Camden Town. Think Bollinger and cocaine. His surname is pronounced 'Beecham'. Caius Beauchamp is a detective inspector with the Metropolitan police and is bi-racial. His surname is pronounced as you see it. The two encounter each other when Caius, out for a run, stumbles across the body of Clemmie O'Hara, Rupert's girlfriend. Rupert thought that she was being deliberately late for his party. She was dead under a bush.
