"Tove Ditlevsen's autobiographical trilogy about her troubled life in Copenhagen"-- Provided by publisher

Marie Wall, celebrata star di Hollywood, è tornata a Fjällbacka per le riprese di un film su Ingrid Bergman di cui è la protagonista, e in paese non si parla d’altro. Trent’anni prima, quando era ancora una ragazzina, Marie e la sua amica del cuore erano state accusate di aver ucciso la piccola Stella, una bambina di appena quattro anni, la cui morte aveva profondamente scosso l’intera comunità. Quando alle porte di Fjällbacka, dove ora riecheggiano i suoni dell’estate, un’altra bambina scompare misteriosamente nelle stesse circostanze, il ricordo di quei drammatici eventi riaffiora con forza. Può davvero essere una coincidenza? Per capire se esiste un collegamento tra passato e presente, Patrik Hedström e la sua squadra devono disseppellire verità taciute per lunghi anni. Ed Erica, che al caso Stella lavora già da un po’, ha intenzione di fare di tutto per aiutare la polizia, mettendo a disposizione la sua principale abilità: quella di scavare a fondo nei vecchi casi di omicidio, cercando di scoprire che cos’è realmente accaduto e, soprattutto, perché. Intanto, intorno a loro cresce la paura, paura dell’ignoto e del diverso, che esaspera il clima di sospetto e alimenta un odio che arde come fuoco. In una rinnovata caccia alle streghe, quella stessa terra che secoli prima era stata illuminata da innumerevoli roghi, innalzati in nome di una folle lotta contro il demonio, minaccia di bruciare ancora, e di perdersi in un’immensa oscurità.

It's been a long, dark time since a gruesome discovery drew U.S. Forest Service ranger Lance Hansen into a murder investigation that is now approaching a resolution—although not to his satisfaction. In fact, the mysteries have been multiplying and getting uncomfortably close to home. On the run after a hunting expedition with his brother, Andy, went awry, Lance is haunted by visions of Swamper Caribou, the Ojibwe medicine man whose death a century earlier remains unexplained. Willy Dupree, Lance's former father-in-law, has the ability to interpret dreams—and what he reveals may be key to understanding both deaths, past and present. Reluctantly taking on the role of detective, Lance uncovers troubling connections and grim secrets that will shake him to his very core.In the final installment of his award-winning Minnesota Trilogy, Norwegian crime writer Vidar Sundstøl’s affinity for the northern world of Lake Superior is on full display—as Lance’s search takes him from the wilds of the Boundary Waters to outposts steeped in voyageur history and Ojibwe culture, from the streets of the Twin Cities to the gritty port of Duluth, to the sleepy tourist towns that dot the North Shore—and as the mysteries of love and nature, history and culture merge in a powerful conclusion.

A Norwegian tourist has been found murdered on the shore of Lake Superior--right where an Ojibwe man may have been killed more than one hundred years earlier. Four months later, the official investigation is supposedly over but still not resolved, and U.S. Forest Service officer Lance Hansen, drawn into the mystery by his grisly discovery of the body, is uncovering clues disturbingly close to home. His former father-in-law, Willy Dupree, may hold the key to the century-old murder of Swamper Caribou. And his own brother, Andy, might know more than he's telling--more than he should know--about the recent homicide. The relationship between the brothers takes a dangerous turn as their annual deer hunt becomes a deadly game. Steeped in the rich history of Lake Superior's rugged North Shore, this follow-up to the Riverton Prize-winning The Land of Dreams pursues two tales through a bleak and beautiful landscape haunted by the lives and dreams of its Scandinavian immigrants and Native Americans. Hansen finds himself equally haunted by the complex mysteries that continue to unravel around him.

A story based on the Jewish legend about how the world is always protected by 36 people, follows the sudden deaths of dozens of humanitarians who each bear a bizarre tattoo and whose untimely ends are investigated by Copenhagen detective Niels Benzon, who would save the remaining protectors

Per la polizia non ci sono dubbi: è stato un incidente. Il piccolo Esajas correva sul tetto innevato quando è caduto, rimanendo ucciso. Ma Smilla non è convinta; ha visto le impronte lasciate dal bambino e la neve le dice che non si è trattato di un incidente...
