Critics are raving about this deliciously chilling new thriller
from Scandanavian crime-writing sensation Camilla Lackberg.
Named by major media outlets, such as "USA TODAY," "The New York
Times," and "The Washington Post," as a main successor to Stieg
Larsson, Swedish author Lackberg is on the rise. Her new novel,
which "The Washington Post" has already named as one of their "Ten
Books We Love This Year" and praised as "richly textured and
downright breathtaking," continues the story of local detective
Patrik Hedstrom and his girlfriend, Erica Falck, the beloved
crime-solving duo whose first child has just been born. But while
they celebrate this new life, a suspicious drowning claims a little
girl they knew well. As the murder's implications widen, Patrik's
investigation threatens to tear apart the rural fishing village of
Fjallbacka, where a secret lurks that spans generations.
A deeply satisfying third installment in her internationally
bestselling series, "The Stonecutter "will establish Lackberg for
the U.S. audience once and for all. As "USA TODAY" says, "If you
haven't yet read the equally entrancing "Ice Princess" and "The
Preacher," what are you waiting for?"
