Description
"[A] penetrating tale of a falling-out among conspirators" from the author of The Water's Edge and winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (Kirkus Reviews).
In the wake of Stieg Larsson's bestselling novels, readers are discovering the rich trove of modern Scandinavian crime fiction. If you've devoured the Millennium trilogy and are looking for your next read, Karin Fossum and her bone-chillingly bleak psychological thrillers have won the admiration of the likes of Ruth Rendell and Colin Dexter (of Inspector Morse fame).
In Bad Intentions, Konrad Sejer must face down his memories and fears as he struggles to determine why the corpses of troubled young men keep surfacing in local lakes.
The first victim, Jon Moreno, was getting better. His psychiatrist said so, and so did his new friend at the hospital, Molly Gram, with her little-girl-lost looks. He was racked by a mysterious guilt that had driven him to a nervous breakdown one year earlier. But when he drowns in Dead Water Lake, Sejer hesitates to call it a suicide.
Then another corpse is found in a lake, a Vietnamese immigrant. And Sejer begins to feel his age weigh on him. Does he still have the strength to pursue the elusive explanations for human evil?
This e-book includes a sample chapter of The Murder of Harriet Krohn.
"An intimate study of broken lives that showcases Fossum's poet past." —Bloomberg
"Fascinatingly readable and very cleverly done." —Colin Dexter, author of the Inspector Morse series
"A bracingly pleasurable experience . . . [Fossum] keeps her cut-to-the-bone mystery moving briskly." —Independent
"A gem." —The Guardian
