Benefactors

A crime story with Commissioner Paula Pihlaj

She drowned like a kitten in a shipping container. Could it be an uncomfortable load? Outside the Helsinki villa of the wealthy Lehmusoy business dynasty, someone has placed a conspicuous blue container full of water. However, the strange installation contains something that does not belong to modern art: a drowned young woman of dark complexion. The investigators, led by Inspector Paula Pihlaj, come across clues that are no less confusing than the murder itself. Why did the unfortunate woman from the heart of Namibia go among the cold Scandinavians? Is Lehmus' connection to developing Africa driven by altruistic intentions, or have the snakes appeared in paradise again? And what other disgusting secrets disguised as goodies will emerge from the depths of the container? It's up to Paula to crack the case before another dead body comes forward. And most importantly - before the demons from the past catch up with her too... The opening part of the gripping bestselling crime series with Commissioner Paula Pihlajová. The authorship of the Ollikainen couple, considered by Scandinavian critics to be the new Lars Kepler, has already been published in ten other languages.

They wrote about the book

"Well done. Thanks to the masterfully crafted plot, the reader is left in doubt for a long time - and in the end is rewarded with several surprises."

Helsingin Sanoma. t

"Finland is the Mecca of crime literature. You need proof? Just read the novels of A. M. Ollikainen. I can't imagine a better start to the series. Benefactors are special."

Marco Schneiders, Bastei Lübbe

"This classic whodunit about antsy police work shows a mild-mannered Finland that is unwillingly adjusting to globalisation. And at the same time, they must not forget that not everyone really means it when it comes to development aid."

Detective Centre

"Paula is not only a great investigator, but a person with whom the audience sympathizes as she comes to terms with her own troubled past. Throw in the necessary spices of any good thriller - the perpetrator's modus operandi, a polished style and a thrilling plot - and the result is a perfect crime story!"

Soraya Vink, HarperCollins Holland.
