It looked like it had been made at home with an inkjet printer. The motif was utterly charmless. ...The picture on the card showed a smiling Sverre Anweiler with his arms round a woman in uniform. The two of them were standing in front of stacks of shipping containers in some concrete dockland. A speech bubble had been drawn coming from Anweiler's mouth. Best wishes from me and my mum!, it read in Swedish." p. 113 "The next postcard was obviously a bought one. A little map of Russia on which a line had been traced with a blue felt-tip pen from Saint Petersburg through Arkhangelsk, Magadan, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, and Irkutsk, where a ring had been drawn around Lake Baikal. From there, the onward route was marked by a dotted line going through Novosibirsk, Volgograd, Novgorod, and Moscow." p.310 "'I've heard back about those Maersk containers in Kaliningrad, the ones we identified on Anweiler's postcard. It's legit. The postmark matches up with the date the containers were unloaded unto the quayside. And the technicians say the photo hasn't been manipulated, so the man's as innocent as I reckoned he was all along. Case closed.'"

After all, she'd been away from home for over four weeks an maybe for the first time in her life, wasn't she?'" "Mrs. Goldschmid smiled. 'We received a few, yes. With scenes of local attractions, of course. We still have them. Would you like to see them?'" p.180 "'It's almost all clothes, but in the box on top we've got it all, drawings and postcards.'" p.181 "'And here we've got the postcards.' She pushed the drawings to one side and pulled three postcards from a plastic wallet, handing them reverently to Carl. Assad read along over his shoulder. They were three glossy and well-read postcards with images from the town square in Ronne, Hammershus Castle Fortress, and a summer scene from Snogbaek with a smokehouse, seagulls in flight, and a view over the sea. Alberte had written short and sweet descriptions of what she'd seen on a couple of trips around the island, nothing else, in capitals with a ballpoint pen. All ending with: I'm doing fine. Hugs from me. Mrs. Goldschmid sighed, her face contorted. 'Look, the last one is dated just three days before she died.'" p.183 "Most of the postcards in the cigar box were from a guy called Bendt-Christian, who'd sent greetings from Bangladesh, Hawaii, Thailand, and Berlin, among others. They always started with Dearest Davidovich and contained a few tender remarks here and there, but other than that were relatively neutral. When they got to the postcards from Alberte, there were a few reminders of the cards she'd sent to her parents. Just a few plain descriptions of the day the card referred to and lots of assurances that she missed her brother. 'There doesn't seem to be much to go on here,' Assad said just as Carl pulled out a postcard with Osterlars Round Church on the front, with a red heart drawn above the cross on the spire. He turned it over and skimmed it. 'Hang on a minute, Assad, not so fast,' he said. 'Listen to what it says here:' Hi bro. Trip to Osterlars Round Church this time. It's meant to be fantastic with Knights Templar and everything, but the best thing was I met a sweet guy. He knew more about the church than the guide, and he was SO hot. Meeting him tomorrow outside school. More about that another time. Hugs and kisses, your sis, Alberte." p.184 "They rooted around in the boxes for another half hour, but didn't find anything else they could use. No name, no later postcard that could uncover the next chapter in this catastrophic saga, nothing." p.193 "We expect it was November 11, 1997, due to the imperfect dating on Alberte's postcard to her brother, but we're not sure." p.203 "Disappointed with the diet that'd guaranteed her a weight loss of ten kilos but seemed to do almost the opposite, and disappointed with Wanda Phinn, who despite all her grand promises had never even favored her with so much as a simple postcard. p.318 "During her stay here at the center, she'd written to them at least ten times, and the only answer she'd ever received was a postcard that stated in a few, precise words that as long as she stayed at this unchristian place, she shouldn't bother writing again."...more
