Inhaltsangabe

Available for the first time in English, the seventh entry in the beloved Inspector Sejer series from Norway’s Queen of Crime, Karin Fossum

On a wet, gray night in early November, Charlo Torp, a former gambler who’s only recently kicked the habit, makes his way through the slush to Harriet Krohn’s apartment, flowers in hand. Certain that paying off his debt is the only path to starting a new life and winning his daughter’s forgiveness, Charlo plans to rob the wealthy old woman’s antique silver collection. What he doesn’t expect is for her to put up a fight.

The following morning Harriet is found dead, her antique silver missing, and the only clue Inspector Sejer and his team find in the apartment is an abandoned bouquet. Charlo should feel relieved, but he’s heard of Sejer’s amazing record — the detective has solved every case he’s ever been assigned to.

Told through the eyes of a killer, The Murder of Harriet Krohn poses the question: how far would you go to turn your life around, and could you live with yourself afterward?

The great Norwegian crime novelist Karin Fossum has a special gift for voices. She s come up with a humdinger in the first-person narrator . . . It s wrenching. Washington Post

One of the standouts of the Nordic thriller boom. New York Magazine

The queen of Norwegian crime fiction, the prolific and brilliant Fossum has riddled the quaint countryside north of Oslo with imagined crimes . . . In Fossum s literary thrillers, the crime is almost incidental to a deeper moral crisis: Her killers aren t madmen but ordinary people driven to monstrous acts. Men s Journal

Fossum descends deep into the alienated mind of Riktor to create an exquisitely Poe-ish novel of psychological suspense. More
