Riktor doesn’t like the way the policeman comes straight into the house without knocking. He doesn’t like the arrogant way he observes his home.The policeman doesn’t tell him why he’s there, and Riktor doesn’t ask. Because he knows he’s guilty of a terrible crime.

But it turns out that the policeman isn’t looking for a missing person. He is accusing Riktor of something totally unexpected. Riktor doesn’t have a clear conscience, but this is a crime he certainly didn’t commit.

“He’d just learnt to walk,” she said. “He was sitting playing on his blanket, then all of a sudden he was gone.”

A 16-month-old boy is found drowned in a pond right by his home. Chief Inspector Sejer is called to the scene as there is something troubling about the mother’s story. As even her own family turns against her, Sejer is determined to get to the truth.

Eva Magnus is a struggling artist and the divorced mother of a seven-year-old child, Emma. One afternoon she and Emma are walking by the river when an unknown man's body floats to the surface of the icy water. She tells her daughter to wait patiently while she calls the police, but when she reaches the phone box Eva dials another number altogether.

When the police discover the body, it doesn't take long for Inspector Sejer and his team to determine that the man, Egil, died in a violent attack. But Egil has been missing for months and the trail to his killer has gone cold. It's as puzzling as another unsolved case on Sejer's desk: the murder of a prostitute who was found dead just three days before Egil went missing.

Sejer sets to work piecing together the fragments of these two impossible cases; soon enough he realizes that they might not be as separate as they had seemed. Gripping and thought-provoking, Eva's Eye is Karin Fossum's first novel featuring the iconic Inspector Sejer.

Beneath the imposing Kollen Mountain lies a small village where the children run in and out of one another's houses and play unafraid in the streets. But the sleepy village is like a pond through which not enough water runs – beneath the surface it is beginning to stagnate. When a naked body is found by the lake at the top of the mountain, its seeming tranquility is disturbed forever. Enter Inspector Sejer, a tough, no-nonsense policeman whose own life is tinged by sadness. As the suspense builds, and the list of suspects grows, Sejer's determination to discover the truth will lead him to peel away layer upon layer of distrust and lies, in this tiny community where apparently normal family ties hide dark secrets. Critically acclaimed across Europe, Karin Fossum's novels evoke a world that is terrifyingly familiar. Don't Look Back introduces the tough, ethical Inspector Sejer to British readers for the first time.

A riveting portrayal of a community – its insiders, its outsiders, its fissures, and its secrets – from Norway's "Queen of Crime," Karin Fossum.

El verano llega a su fin en una pequeña localidad rural de Noruega. Sus habitantes, acostumbrados a la tranquilidad de sus urbanizaciones rodeadas de bosques y lagos, no están preparados para lo que se avecina. Pequeños y terribles malentendidos comienzan a sucederse: llamadas de hospitales anunciando accidentes que no han ocurrido, periódicos que publican esquelas de ancianos que siguen vivos… presagios de que algo terrible está a punto de ocurrir. El mismo día que comienza todo, el inspector de policía Sejer recibe una extraña nota: «El infierno empieza ahora». Él y su compañero, el detective Jacob Skarre, se ponen manos a la obra para descubrir quién está detrás de tanta confusión. Probablemente ni siquiera el artífice de todo ello sea capaz de prever la marea de violencia que está a punto de desbordarse, porque, ¿quién sabe de qué es capaz la gente cuando ha perdido la sensación de seguridad?

En Presagios, Karin Fossum consigue un retrato fascinante de una pequeña comunidad que se tambalea al borde del precipicio.

En la pequeña localidad noruega de Finnemarka, la anciana granjera Halldis Horn es hallada muerta de un hachazo en su cabaña. El sospechoso principal es Errki, un muchacho esquizofrénico, al que las habladurías acusan también de haber matado a su madre. El carismático comisario Sejer es encargado del caso.

The second Inspector Sejer mystery from "Norway's Queen of Crime". Superb plotting, fresh style and compassionate, detailed treatment of characters have made the Insepctor Sejer Mysteries bestsellers in their native Norway. A twelve-year-old boy runs wildly into his local police station claiming to have seen Halldis Horn's brutally murdered corpse. Errki Johrma, an escaped psychiatric patient and known town misfit, was sighted at the scene disappearing into the woods. The next morning the local bank is robbed at gunpoint. Making his escape the robber takes a hostage and flees and, once again, a suspect takes to the woods. As the felon's plans begin to fall apart he is, in contrast to his quiet hostage, rapidly losing his control and power. Meanwhile the search for Halldis Horn's killer continues. All fingers of suspicion point to Errki – except one. Errki's doctor refuses to believe that he could have committed such an horrific act and, for the first time since his wife's death, the quiet Inspector finds himself intrigued by another woman. Despite all assumptions a lack of concrete evidence holds back the case to convict Errki for murder. But in a novel that will keep you desperate to turn each new page to find out more, Fossum brilliantly ensures that things are rarely as they would at first appear. From the deeply sympathetic policeman to the social outcast of Errki and the bank robber thoroughly unsuited to his profession, Fossum writes from within the minds of her characters with great lucidity… but she never gives too much away.

Książka jest ciekawa, czyta się z przyjemnością no i jak to kryminał bardzo wciąga. Sama historia jest bardzo wzruszająca, co osobiście mi przeszkadza, bo potwornie żal mi było ofiar opisanego nieszczęścia. Nie jest to już klasyczny kryminał w tradycyjnym rozumieniu. Taka zbrodnia jak ta przedstawiona w książke Karin Fossum, może się zdarzyć wszędzie. Poza tym, duży nacisk został połozony na cierpienie jakie wywołała zbrodnia.

W zmałym, norweskim miasteczku dochodzi do tajemniczej zbrodni – ktoś morduje Hinduskę. Nie wiadomo skąd egzotyczna kobieta z Indii wzięła się na takim pustkowiu, w dodatku w chłodnej Norwegii. Nie wiadomo do końca do kogo przyjechała i po co. Ktoś widział na łące goniącą się parę ludzi – pewnie to jacyś zakochani się bawią, myśli jedyny świadek zdarzenia.

Ciekawy wątek, problematyka – autorka zwraca uwage na specyficzna mentalnośc ludzi mieszkających w małych miejscowościach gdzie wszyscy się znaja i pozornie wszystko o sobie wiedzą. Jednak przywykłam do bardziej tradycyjnych kryminałów gdzie wątek zostaje calkowicie rozwiązany, dlatego niejasność i niedopowiedzenia, które są niezaprzeczalną zaletą tego typu literatury, tutaj mnie troche drażnił. Ale chyba o to chodziło.

El comisario Sejer, que se encarga del caso, esconde una mente sutil y experimentada tras un aspecto ordinario y gris. Al hacerse cargo de la investigación intuye que la joven artista, a quien ha tomado declaración como amiga de la víctima, sabe más de lo que dice. Poco a poco irá atando cabos, pues todas las respuestas a sus interrogantes están en la vida secreta de Eva Magnus.
