I Can See in the Dark

The great Norwegian crime novelist Karin Fossum has a special gift for voices. She s come up with a humdinger in the first-person narrator . . . It s wrenching. Washington Post Riktor doesn t like the way the policeman storms into his home without even knocking. He doesn t like the arrogant way he walks around the house, taking note of its contents. The policeman doesn t bother to explain why he s there, and Riktor is too afraid to ask. He knows he s guilty of a terrible crime and he s sure the policeman has found him out. But when the policeman finally does arrest him, it s for something totally unexpected. Riktor doesn t have a clear conscience, but the crime he s being accused of is one he certainly didn t commit. Imprisoned and desperate to break out, he fights to clear his name without further incriminating himself, in a gripping standalone novel from a truly great writer (Jo Nesbo). The queen of Norwegian crime fiction . . . Prolific and brilliant. Men s Journal KARIN FOSSUM is the author of the internationally successful Inspector Konrad Sejer crime series. Her recent honors include a Gumshoe Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for mystery/thriller."
