A Norwegian author focused within the field of crime, Karin Fossum has been dubbed ‘the Norwegian queen of crime’. Currently living near Oslo, Norway, she continues to build upon her reputable brand name getting her work translated into a variety of different languages.
- In the Darkness. (Evas øye – 1995) In his very first appearance, Inspector Sejer glides calmly through some very dark waters in the investigation of two brutal murders – those of a local factory worker, and a prostitute – which appear to be linked.
- Don’t Look Back. (Se deg ikke tilbake! – 1996) This book begins with a trademark Fossum diversion that serves as a portent. What seems like a child abduction is in fact not, but it sets the ominous tone for a real missing person/murder case.
- He Who Fears the Wolf. (Den som frykter ulven – 1997) This wonderfully strange offering is a departure in some ways from Karin Fossum’s usual sombre fare, and may be the most enjoyable for its liveliness and colourful characters.
- When the Devil Holds the Candle. (Djevelen holder lyset – 1998) A petty theft by some teens leads to a tragic sequence of events. This installment in the Inspector Sejer series is not a mystery as such and Sejer is largely peripheral to events.
