Series: Inspector Sejer

The second Inspector Sejer mystery from 'Norway's Queen of Crime', featuring all of Fossum's superb plotting, fresh style and brilliant characterisation. Perfect for fans of Ruth Rendell, Val McDermid and Minette Walters

A twelve-year-old boy runs into his local police station claiming to have seen a brutally dismembered corpse.

Errki Johrma, an escaped psychiatric patient and known town misfit, was spotted at the scene before he disappeared into the woods.

The next morning the local bank is robbed at gunpoint.

Making his escape, the robber takes a hostage and also flees into the woods.

As the search for Halldis Horn's killer continues all fingers of suspicion point to Errki - except one.

Errki's doctor refuses to believe that he could have committed such an horrific act and, for the first time since his wife's death, Inspector Sejer finds himself intrigued by another woman.

The second novel in the Inspector Sejer series displays all of Karin Fossum's acclaimed plotting and characterisation.

Reviews for He Who Fears the Wolf

Terribly clever and enjoyably sly. Great stuff * Daily Telegraph * Brings Ruth Rendell irresistibly to mind * Independent on Sunday * Fossum's presentation of her characters is marked by an intelligence and compassion that is not often found in the pages of crime fiction -- Donna Leon * Sunday Times *
