Don´t Look Back

Norwegian title: Se deg ikke tilbake

At the foot of the Kollen Mountain lies a small village where the children play unafraid in the streets. But tranquillity is irrecoverably shattered when a young woman´s naked body is found by the lake during the search for another missing girl. Inspector Sejer - smart, tough and enigmatic - is called to investigate. Only he can uncover the dark secrets of this quiet community, hidden by deep family ties.

This is the second book in the series about Inspector Sejer.

Don´t Look Back shows how well Fossum deserves her continental fameSUNDAY TIMES

Ends with such a blow to the stomach that most readers will wish they had failed to understand the appalling outcome to this apparently routine investigation. SCOTSMAN
