In ​this second Inspector Sejer mystery, a young boy runs into the local police station, wild-eyed and breathless, to report the discovery of a horribly maimed body outside an isolated house in the woods. Yet there was another person in the woods that day — standing nearby, hidden within the trees was the mysterious figure of the local misfit, Errki. The next morning, the local bank is robbed at gunpoint. The robber takes a hostage and flees to the woods. As the felon’s plans begin to fall apart he, in contrast to his quiet hostage, is rapidly losing his control and power. Meanwhile, the search for the killer continues. All fingers of suspicion point to the enigmatic Errki, except one. Errki’s doctor refuses to believe that her patient could have committed such a horrific act. In a novel that will keep you guessing until the end, Fossum brilliantly ensures that things are rarely as they would at first appear. From the deeply sympathetic policeman to the social outcast Errki, and the bank robber thoroughly unsuited to his profession, Fossum writes from within the minds of her characters.
