An unmissable hospital appointment is looming for Inspector Van Veeteren when a corpse is found rolled in a rotting carpet by a young child playing in a local beauty spot. Missing head and limbs, the torso is too badly decomposed for forensic identification - bar one crucial detail.... Circumstantial evidence soon points to a local man, a double murderer who disappeared nine months before, shortly after being released on parole - a local hero turned monster after being convicted of killing two women over a span of three decades.

When Jean Hannah Edelstein's world overturned, she was forced to confront some of the big questions: how do we cope with grief? How does life change when we realise we're not invincible? Does knowing our likely fate make it harder or easier to face the future? This Really Isn't About You is a book about finding your way in life. Which is to say, it's a book about discovering you are not really in charge of that at all.
