      Charlo Torp no es un hombre afortunado. Aún llora la muerte de su mujer, ha perdido su trabajo y las acuciantes deudas de juego lo han distanciado de su hija adolescente. Desesperado, su solución pasa por el crimen. Así, se presenta en el apartamento de una anciana, flores en mano, con el plan de robarle una antigua cubertería de plata. Sin embargo, ella, Harriet Krohn, se resiste, lucha, y Charlo pierde definitivamente el control. A la mañana siguiente, el inspector Sejer es llamado a la escena del crimen. Harriet Krohn ha muerto, sus objetos de valor han desaparecido y la única pista en el piso es un ramo abandonado. Charlo Torp deberá hacer frente a un investigador que, hasta el momento, ha resuelto todos los casos que se le han asignado. La única pregunta es: ¿cuán lejos está dispuesto a llegar para dar un vuelco a su vida?

      Don't Look Back heralds the arrival of an exotic new crime series featuring Inspector Sejer, a smart and enigmatic hero, tough but fair. The setting is a small, idyllic village at the foot of Norway's Kollen Mountain, where neighbors know neighbors and children play happily in the streets. But when the body of a teenage girl is found by the lake at the mountaintop, the town's tranquillity is shattered forever. Annie was strong, intelligent, and loved by everyone. What went so terribly wrong? Doggedly, yet subtly, Inspector Sejer uncovers layer upon layer of distrust and lies beneath the town's seemingly perfect facade. Critically acclaimed across Europe, Karin Fossum's Inspector Sejer novels are masterfully constructed, psychologically convincing, and compulsively readable, and are now available in the United States for the first time.
