**NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER IN NORWAY** **WINNER of the Norwegian
Booksellers' Award** **Longlisted for the CWA International
Dagger** 'A clever, quirky mystery, full of twists and reminiscent
of Agatha Christie at her best' The Times 'Ravatn, one of Norway's
premier crime writers, manages to conjure up an extra level of
chilling atmosphere that will make you want to put the heating on
... The Seven Doors packs a brutal punch' The Sun 'Elegantly
plotted and economically executed ... Ravatn smoothly mixes Jungian
and Freudian psychology with folklore and an affair's lethal
consequences. Inexorable fate drives this searing modern take on
ancient Greek tragedy' Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW
_________________ University professor Nina is at a turning point.
Her work seems increasingly irrelevant, her doctor husband is never
home, relations with her difficult daughter are strained, and their
beautiful house is scheduled for demolition. When her daughter
decides to move into another house they own, things take a very
dark turn. The young woman living there disappears, leaving her son
behind, the day after Nina and her daughter pay her a visit. With
few clues, the police enquiry soon grinds to a halt, but Nina has
an inexplicable sense of guilt. Unable to rest, she begins her own
investigation, but as she pulls on the threads of the case, it
seems her discoveries may have very grave consequences for her and
her family. Exquisitely dark and immensely powerful, The Seven
Doors is a sophisticated and deeply disturbing psychological
thriller from one of Norway's most distinguished voices.
