DESCRIPTION - When the theft of a purse from a stroller results in an infant's death, two teenagers are in trouble. Unaware of the enormity of their crime, Zipp and Andreas are intent on committing still another. They follow an elderly woman home, and Andreas enters her house with his ever-reliable switchblade. Motionless in the dark, Zipp waits for his friend to come out. Inspector Konrad Sejer and his colleague Jacob Skarre see no connection between the infant's death and the reported disappearance of a local delinquent. And so while the confusion in the world outside mounts, the chilling, heart-stopping truth unfolds inside the old woman's home. Unflappable as ever, Sejer digs below the surface of small-town tranquility in an effort to understand how and why violence destroys everyday lives. Another brilliantly observed, precisely rendered psychological mystery from the highly acclaimed Karin Fossum. inventory #15284. …

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First U.S. Edition. Pulling a handbag from a pushchair handle, two teenage trouble-makers, Zipp and Andreas, unwittingly commit murder when the baby inside is thrown to the ground. Unaware of what has happened, the pair move on to their next target. Having followed home Irma, an elderly lady who lives nearby, Andreas enters her house armed, with his trusty flick-knife. Zipp waits nervously outside, but his friend never reappears. He will never see him alive again. Fossum toys with the roles of victim and killer and pens the inner monologue of her characters to chilling effect. There are no red herrings in this narrative as the crime is played out on the page, but it is the mental processes behind the murderer's sinister act that are the real pieces of this puzzle. Gradually, they fall into place as Irma and Andreas talk to each other. We are forced to question the familiar stereotypes: people are not always what they seem and it is not always bad people who do bad things. While the reader knows the truth of this crime, the police remain flummoxed. There is no reason for Sejer and his colleague Skarre to see a connection between the infant's death and the reported disappearance of a town trouble-maker. WHEN THE DEVIL HOLDS THE CANDLE is the fourth book in the Inspector Sejer series. Author of DON'T LOOK BACK and HE WHO FEARS THE WOLF, among others yet to find U.S. translation. Fine first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. {Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} M124/ MBS.…

Inspector Sejer and Jacob Skarre, his colleague, are called in on two cases that appear unrelated: a purse snatching and the disappearance of a local delinquent. However, things are not what they seem in this small town, and sometimes the darkest secrets lie buried beneath the most harmless demeanors. Book.…
