Jon Fosse said farewell to theory early in his career, choosing poetry, fiction, and drama as his mediums of choice. Here, however, in a selection from his two books of essays, we see just how incisive a critic and memoirist he can be. Not only including a generous portion of Fosse's writing on literature and theater—including the irresistible "Thomas Bernhard and His Grandfather"—this collection also includes such personal essays such as "My Dear New Norwegian," "Old Houses," and "He Who Didn't Want to Become a Teacher."

Leah Quiller har vid ett flertal tillfällen varit hemma på sitt gods på Österlen, där hon alltid är känd under sitt rätta namn, grevinnan Caroline von Steinberg, och för varje gång får hon en allt större längtan att återta sin rätta identitet. Men hon är också väl medveten om att för att återfå friheten måste hon hitta mannen som både våldtog och misshandlade henne brutalt och lämnade henne att dö i ett dike.

Den 2 delen av tre. Gärningen. I över ett decennium har kriminalkommissarie Leah Quiller försökt att skapa sig ett tryggt liv efter den våldsamma våldtäkten som nästan ändade hennes liv. Samtidigt arbetar hon och åklagare Jeanette på den nya sexbrottsroteln i Göteborg för att få till åtal och att sätta så många våldtäktsmän i fängelse som det bara är möjligt, och i vissa fall tvekar inte Leah att skipa rättvisa två gånger i sin privata rättssal.

A grievously mutilated young woman arrives at the hospital in Espoo, Finland - only to vanish without a trace.

The next day her suspicions grow when celebrity call girl Lulu Nightingale is murdered during a live television broadcast. The victim's clients included some of the top names in Finnish society, but the list of suspects is longer: her infatuated bodyguard, a suicidal TV producer, and a talk-show host with political aspirations.

When a woman's body turns up in a lake - a bullet to the back of her head - Violent Crime Unit commander Maria Kallio, freshly back from maternity leave, is fast to get on the case.

Almost as soon as the inquiry starts, it goes off the rails, as those connected to Annukka - and to Smeds - seem to have more secrets than they have alibis.
