Inspector Sejer is hard at work again, investigating the brutal murder
of a woman who lived alone in the middle of the woods. The chief
suspect is another loner, a schizophrenic recently escaped from a
mental institution. The only witness is a twelve-year-old boy,
overweight, obsessed with archery, and a resident at a home for
delinquents. When a demented man robs a nearby bank and accidentally
takes the suspect hostage, the three misfits are drawn into an uneasy
alliance. Shrewdly, patiently, as is his way, Inspector Sejer
confronts a case where the strangeness of the crime is matched only by
the strangeness of the criminals, and where small-town prejudices warp
every piece of information he tries to collect. Fossum once again
provides extraordinary insight into marginalized lives and richly
evokes the atmosphere she captured so brilliantly in Don't Look Back.
