Helena Henschen - The Shadow of A Crime




This is some sort of half novel and half true crime book about famous murdering that took place in Sweden in 1930's. Narrator is long relative of people involved in those murders. It comes to that of a unstable young man who had horrible father and young girl with unhappy prospects. They hooked up, and because Fredrick was a junkie they killed three people and in the end as Sweden police was closing in on them Fredrick killed his girl and shot himself. Good novel.
