The Shadow Woman by Ake Edwardson
The second installment of the internationally best selling Erik Winter seriesIt's August and the annual Gothenburg Party is in full swing. But this year the bacchanalian blowout is simmering with ethnic discord spurred by nativist gangs. When a woman is found murdered in the park-her identity as inscrutable as the blood-red symbol on the tree above her body-Winter's search for her missing child leads him from sleek McMansions to the Gothenburg fringes, where "northern suburbs" is code for "outsider" and the past is inescapable-even for Sweden's youngest chief inspector. Psychologically gripping and socially astute, The Shadow Woman puts this master of Swedish noir on track to build an American audience on par with his international fame.
Ake Edwardson is a three-time recipient of the Swedish Crime Writers' Academy Award for best crime novel. He has written novels, short tales, dramas, and detective fiction. Samurai Summer is Edwardson's debut YA novel, set in Sweden in the early 1960s.
