<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>What if you were arrested for a crime you didn't commit--but had to prove your innocence without revealing anything about the one you did? A thrilling new stand-alone novel from Norway's Queen of Crime.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"One of the standouts of the Nordic thriller boom." --<i>New York Magazine</i></b> <p/> 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 Nesbø). <p/> <br><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b> The great Norwegian crime novelist Karin Fossum has a special gift for voices.
