Publisher Description: "Tantalizing." -- Washington Post "One of the standouts of the Nordic thriller boom." -- New York Magazine "No one can thoroughly chill the blood the way Karin Fossum can." -- Los Angeles Times "A truly great writer and explorer of the human mind." -- Jo Nesb "The queen of Norwegian crime fiction . . . Prolific and brilliant." --Men's Journal Charlo Torp, a newly recovered gambler, makes his way through the slush to Harriet Krohn's apartment, flowers in hand. Determined to pay off his debts, Charlo plans to steal the old woman's antique silver collection. But he didn't expect her to put up a fight. The following morning, Inspector Sejer is called to the scene to investigate. Harriet is dead, her silver missing, and the only clue in the apartment is an abandoned bouquet. When Charlo sees the news, he knows he should be 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? |
