Segundo caso del inspector Sejer: un nuevo y misterioso caso que resolver. Novela ganadora del premio La llave de cristal a la mejor novela policíaca escandinava, un galardón que comparte con Henning Mankell y Stieg Larsson. Ragnhild, una niña de seis años, desaparece sin dejar rastro. Mientras la policia, encabezada por el inspector Konrad Sejer, inicia la busqueda de la pequeña, esta se encuentra jugando en casa de Raymond, un individuo algo retrasado que vive en el bosque con su padre. El caso parece resuelto cuando Ragnhild regresa a su casa sana y salva esa misma noche, pero en realidad la pesadilla no ha hecho mas que empezar. La niña recuerda haber visto a una chica desnuda en la orilla del lago y la policia no tarda en descubrir el cadaver de Annie Holland. Al principio Sejer no cuenta con ninguna pista que explique el atroz asesinato, pero a medida que se suceden los interrogatorios va destapando el sordido pasado de varios miembros de la pequeña comunidad noruega. Reseña:Devastadora. Fossum es capaz de ver el alma de un pueblo entero.The New York Times
