MIDWINTER SACRIFICE

  • MIDWINTER SACRIFICE
Le Pitch
Présentation de l'éditeur 'An investigation consists of a mass of voices, the sort you can hear, and the sort you can't. You have to listen to the soundless voices, Malin. That's where the truth is hidden.' Early one morning in the coldest winter in Swedish memory, police detective Malin Fors is called away from the warm flat she shares with her teenage daughter. The naked body of a man has been found hanging from a tree on the deserted, frozen plain outside the town of Linköping. From the outset Malin is confronted with a host of unanswered questions: Who is the dead man? How did he end up in a tree? And where did the strange wounds on his body come from? Malin and her team must search for the truth in a community that seems determined to keep its secrets, and follow in the frigid wake of a killer to the darkest corners of the human heart. Revue de presse Meditative. Dark. Really, really cold . . . This is a worthy successor to Larsson's Millennium trilogy . . . This first installment in Kallentoft's crime series is a splendid representative of the Swedish crime novel, in all its elegance and eeriness. ( Booklist Starred Review) Don't bother with Stieg Larsson, Kallentoft is better ( Magnus Utvik, Sweden's leading critic) One of the best-realised female heroines I've read by a male writer ( Guardian) The highest suspense ( Camilla Lackberg, international bestselling author of The Stonecutter) He has a completely unique style, an exquisite narrative that you drink in with pleasure . . . I'm convinced: a crime novel doesn't get much more beautiful than this ( Kristianstadsbladet) A gripping opening gambit . . . Investigating inspector Malin Fors is a feisty single mother, whose flaws are intriguing and endearing . . . The chillingly suspense-filled story works up to a truly stunning finale. ( Easy Living) Kallentoft is gifted . . . He has a knack for characterisation and describing the slow burn of police work. ( The Age (Australia)) Sharp writing and original insights add spice ( Literary Review) A cleverly crafted . . . dark multilayered murder mystery ( The Courier Mail (Australia)) Malin Fors is an intriguing and complex heroine . . . MIDWINTER SACRIFICE shows the hidden life under the picturesque surface . . . Kallentoft is an outstanding writer ( Nordic Bookblog) Biographie de l'auteur Mons grew up in a working-class household in the provincial town of Linkoping, Sweden, where the Malin Fors series is set. Before becoming a writer, he worked in journalism and is also a keen food critic. His first novel, Pesetas, was awarded the Swedish equivalent of the Whitbread Award.
