"Convincing, subtle and logically plotted, Inspector Sejer is a
great addition to the detectives' league." --"The Dallas Morning
News" Inspector Sejer is hard at work again, investigating the
brutal murder of a woman who lived alone in the middle of the
woods. The chief suspect is a schizophrenic recently escaped from a
mental institution. The only witness is a twelve-year-old boy,
overweight, obsessed with archery, and a resident at a home for
delinquents. When a demented man robs a nearby bank and
accidentally takes the suspect hostage, the three misfits are drawn
into an uneasy alliance.
Confronting a case where the strangeness of the crime is matched
only by the strangeness of the criminals, Inspector Sejer finds
that small-town prejudices warp every piece of information he tries
to collect. Fossum once again provides extraordinary insight into
marginalized lives and richly evokes the atmosphere she captured so
brilliantly in "Don't Look Back. "
"With sharp psychological insight and a fine grasp on police
procedure, Fossum is easily one of the best new imports the genre
has to offer." --Baltimore Sun
Karin Fossum is the author of many novels and two collections of
short stories. Her crime novels featuring Inspector Sejer have been
translated into sixteen languages. She lives in Oslo.
