Translated from the Norwegian by Felicity David





Praise for He Who Fears the Wolf

“A superb writer of psychological suspense.” – The New York Times




He Who Fears the Wolf

Karin Fossum, Norwegian Queen of Crime, is the creator of the successful Inspector Konrad Sejer crime thriller series. In He Who Fears the Wolf, she explores society’s reaction to a mentally disturbed individual who becomes a scape goat for the murder of a woman who lives alone in a remote wooded area in Norway. Once again small-town prejudice ensures the detective must dig deep below the surface to discover the perpetrator.

Karin Fossum

Fossum’s approach to crime fiction writing includes the craft of a poet and the empathy of one who has worked with the sick and with those who need help in conquering addiction. Her work has been translated into 25 languages. Fossum’s critically-acclaimed debut crime thriller Don’t Look Back won the Glass Key Award in Scandinavia and Calling Out for You was shortlisted for the Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger.
