    3,8(8574)Évaluer

    Don't Look Back heralds the arrival of an exotic new crime series featuring Inspector Sejer, a smart and enigmatic hero, tough but fair. The setting is a small, idyllic village at the foot of Norway's Kollen Mountain, where neighbors know neighbors and children play happily in the streets. But when the body of a teenage girl is found by the lake at the mountaintop, the town's tranquility is shattered forever. Annie was strong, intelligent, and loved by everyone. What went so terribly wrong? Doggedly, yet subtly, Inspector Sejer uncovers layer upon layer of distrust and lies beneath the town's seemingly perfect facade. Critically acclaimed across Europe, Karin Fossum's Inspector Sejer novels are masterfully constructed, psychologically convincing, and compulsively readable, and are now available in the United States for the first time.

    Au cœur de la forêt, une vieille femme est retrouvée morte devant sa maison par Kannick, un pensionnaire de l'orphelinat local. Celui-ci raconte aussitôt à la police qu'il a aperçu un individu dissimulé entre les arbres, ressemblant fort à Errki Johrma, un jeune marginal échappé du centre psychiatrique. Le lendemain de cette découverte macabre, la banque de la ville est cambriolée. Le braqueur prend un jeune homme en otage et s'enfuit dans les bois. Le commissaire Konrad Sejer se doute qu'il existe un lien entre les deux affaires. Tout semble accuser l'énigmatique Errki, que -seule sa psychiatre juge incapable d'un tel acte. Au cœur de la forêt norvégienne, l'étau se resserre. Le grand art de Karin Fossum, que certains comparent à Ruth Rendell, est de nous faire entrer dans l'intimité de ses héros avec empathie et lucidité. Elle fait la preuve ici de sa parfaite maîtrise du roman psychologique.
