Inhaltsangabe

One mild summer evening, a young couple are enjoying dinner while their daughter sleeps peacefully in her stroller under a tree. When her mother steps outside she is stunned: The child is covered in blood.
   Inspector Sejer is called to the hospital to meet the family. Mercifully, the child is unharmed, but the parents are deeply shaken, and Sejer spends the evening trying to understand why anyone would carry out such a sinister prank. Then, just before midnight, somebody rings his doorbell.
   No one is at the door, but the caller has left a small gray envelope on Sejer’s mat. From his living room window, the inspector watches a figure disappear into the darkness. Inside the envelope Sejer finds a postcard bearing a short message: Hell begins now.
   This is classic Fossum—and the critics are saying this is her best book since The Indian Bride.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Praise for Karin Fossum

A truly great writer and explorer of the human mind. Jo Nesbø

I always eagerly await a new novel from Karin Fossum. Ruth Rendell

One of the 50 Greatest Crime Writers. The Times (London)

Karin Fossum builds tension with practiced skill and a sardonic bent, while offering a practitioner s-eye view of the pleasures and pressures of being a novelist. Boston Globe

Fossum s presentation of her characters is marked by an intelligence and compassion that is not often found in the pages of crime fiction. Donna Leon, Sunday Times

Equal parts whodunit, heart-thumper and creep show, Karin Fossum s Inspector Sejer mysteries pull back the curtain on one bedroom community and ask, even in a town as small as Elvestad, how well can anyone ever really know his neighbor? Masterpiece on PBS
