He Who Fears the Wolf（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　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.

　　Karin Fossum made her literary debut in Norway with a
collection of poetry in 1974. Her crime novels featuring Inspector
Konrad Sejer are published in sixteen languages.
