Alexander McCall Smith, The Strange Case of the Moderate Extremists

In this short addition (73 pages) to Alexander McCall Smith's Detective Varg series, Ulf and his colleagues in Sweden's Department of Sensitive Crimes look into a pair of insignificant not-quite-crimes. In one case, the author explores Ulf's strained relationship with his brother, a leader of the right-wing Moderate Extremist party. The other has Ulf dipping into the rarified world of purebred cat breeding. This is another sweet read from McCall Smith that further explores Ulf's world and worldview and his seemingly hopeless love for his married coworker Anna.
