The police are also stumped, and without another suspect, they begin to think Fredrik started the fire himself"--…mehr

Rezensionen
This strange, beguiling book...gives closure to a substantial career without becoming maudlin or overly bleak. The waters around Welin's island may freeze in the winter, but there is human warmth to be found in these pages, along with glimmers of hope and consolation... The bell may have tolled for one of Scandinavia's finest writers, but his connection to those left behind is unbroken. Ian Rankin Guardian
