Can murder and mercy go hand in hand? In The Grand Hotel, a homeless woman charms a businessman into paying for dinner and a room. When his dead body is discovered the following morning she becomes the prime suspect. When a second person is killed in similar circumstances, Sybilla, having left her comfortable middle-class upbringing for the anonymity of the streets, becomes the most wanted person in Sweden . . . Missing is a gripping, multi-faceted thriller; more than a murder-hunt, it is also something more profound : an individual's journey to self-awareness and hope.

Review:

A genuine hit . . . a brilliant novel. * * Gefle Dagblad, Sweden * * A very powerful novel. Skilfully, very intimately and realistically, Alvtegen describes an individual living outside the margins. * * Helsingborgs Dagblad * * A gripping, multi-faceted thriller. It is not only about brutal murder, but also about something more profound - an individual's road to awareness about her own life and value . . . Alvtegen is already amongst the top Swedish crime and thriller authors. * * Folkbladet Joenkoeping * *
