Death Comes for the Dead by Sari Rainio and Juha Rautaheimo has been nominated for the Clew of the Year Award by the Finnish Whodunnit Society.
Death Comes for the Dead is the second volume in the Mortui non silent series, which follows detective Ville Karila and pathologist Viola Kaario as they solve crimes. This time the case starts with a surprise, as the murder victim turns out to be registered dead already ten years prior to the murder.
As the noose tightens around the murderer, old secrets are unveiled, and shadows from the past come out to hunt the living.
Sari Rainio and Juha Rautaheimo are an author duo writing shamelessly nostalgic murder mysteries. Rainio is the editorial director of Siltala Publishing and a crime novel geek; Rautaheimo has worked as an investigator and investigative lead in the Violent Crimes unit for a total of forty years.
The Clew of the Year Award is a yearly award given by the Finnish Whodunnit Society to an outstanding work of crime fiction. Also the first book of the series, The Dead Still Speak, was nominated for the award in 2021.
