Hell Fire
Author(s): Karin Fossum
A mother and child are found brutally murdered in an old caravan on a remote piece of land. A bloody footprint is discovered at the scene, and Chief Inspector Sejer is called to investigate. Meanwhile, another mother, dying of cancer, confesses to her 21-year-old son that he is adopted. The man who abandoned them, whom the boy has become obsessed by, is not his real father. Why do we lie to those closest to us? Hellfire delves deep into the dark heart of family, and what drives people to commit the most horrific of crimes.

"One of Karin Fossum's best crime stories... Fossum expertly captures the nuances of everyday life and the way in which people struggle to make sense of life... Karin Fossum is in a class of her own as a crime writer" Dagsavisen, Norway "The opening scene showcases Fossum at her best - the dank camper van, the heat and the brutal murders. The detailed, subdued tone; the grotesque in the middle of the everyday" Dagbladet, Norway "High-quality crime of the best, international standard. She has now focused her attention on a novel which, in my opinion, has to be one of her very best... So disturbing, riveting and painful that you can't help but be drawn in" Tonsberg Blad, Norway
