One of the most famous Swedish writers.
'Scandinavian noir in the best traditions of the genre' - People.
He was locked in an abandoned house and left to die. And she is his last hope for salvation.
The residents of the small town of Malmberg, located in northern Sweden, are forced to move along with their houses due to the mine that once gave life to this town, but now destroys its street after street. Two workers, involved in moving another house, find a frightened and exhausted man locked in the basement.
A year later, 700 km from Malmberg, in the basement of an abandoned house in the middle of a remote forest, another body is found. A man about whom nothing is known except for the name he scratched on the wall before his death.
What happened to him is a mystery to the local police, so Constable Eiru Shyodin is brought in to the case. No one knows this area and its residents better than her...
'First-class Scandinavian crime literature. Belongs to the same caste as 'Smilla's Sense of Snow' and the Millennium trilogy.' - Bookpage
'Tuve Alsterdal is skilled not only in writing her crime story, but also in depicting a country undergoing change. Who is really buying half-ruined houses in the forest? What story do these houses hold? Tuve Alsterdal knows her Odalen, and she can truly portray the past and present of this area.' - Olandsbladet
'Miss Alsterdal weaves together the personal and professional problems of her characters in a manner reminiscent of such Swedish masters as Mai Shevoll, Per Valle, and Henning Mankell.' - The Wall Street Journal
'Alsterdal's language is rich in restrained beauty and skilled precision. Each word plays its role, but they all are part of the same context, where nothing stands out and disrupts the overall picture.' - Goteborgs-Posten
'Alsterdal once again masterfully tackles the task at hand, this is Scandinavian noir of the highest level, with people who fight with all their might in the valley of tears known as life, while evil hides in the shadows. Fortunately, there are glimpses of light, the great forest may be dark, and the cawing of crows may be ominous, but love suddenly appears, just as strong and powerful as the Angermanland River.' - Femina
'The dark series by Tuve Alsterdal shows the dark side of society and at the same time gives an impressive representation of the Swedish countryside.' - Kulturnews
'Strong characters, a great sense of place, and an abundance of plot twists.' - Sunday Times Crime Club
