A celebrated bestseller in Sweden, and the winner of the
prestigious Per Olov Enquist Literary Prize, The White City is an
arresting story of betrayal and empowerment as a criminal's
girlfriend is left behind to pick up the pieces of her imploded
existence. Karin knew what she was getting herself into when she
fell for John, a high-flying wheeler-dealer. But she never imagined
things would turn out like this: John is gone and the coke-filled
parties, seemingly endless flow of money, and high social status
have been replaced by cut telephone lines, cut heat, and cut cash.
All that remains of Karin's former life is the mansion he bought
for her--and his daughter, the child Karin once swore she would
never bring into their dangerous world. Now she is on her own with
baby Dream. As the authorities zero in on organized crime, John's
shady legacy is catching up with her. Over the course of a few
days, Karin is forced to take drastic measures to claim what she
considers rightfully hers so that she can start over. With
slow-burning psychological intrigue and a seductive atmosphere, The
White City is an intimate portrayal of one woman's struggle to pull
herself up from the paralyzing depths of despair and an unflinching
examination of what it means to lose control--over your body and
your life.
