About This Book

Beyond the Book

This article relates to He Who Fears The Wolf

Print Review

Karin Fossum, sometimes dubbed Norway's Queen of Crime, is the author of many novels, two collections of short stories, one book of poetry and one non-crime novel. She made her literary debut in Norway with a collection of poetry in 1974.  Her crime novels featuring Inspector Sejer have been translated into sixteen languages but Don't Look Back was the first to be published in the USA.

He Who Fears the Wolf
is just out in the USA in paperback and When The Devil Holds the Candle has just been published in hardcover.

If you're already a hardened fan of the series and happen to live in the UK (or choose to buy your books online through an international distributor such as Amazon), you can also get your hands on number 4 in the series, Calling Out For You, and it looks like the 5th, Black Seconds, will be out in the UK in 2007.

When asked what it feels like to be published in 16 different languages she responds modestly saying "It feels strange. I look upon them as small, quiet stories"
