A couple of eggs are smashed against a windowpane.
A teenage girl walks out onto a frozen pond.
The night the young woman falls through the ice changes everything; the pond where she drowns is on the mayor’s property. And police investigator Vigdis Malmstrøm gradually discovers that this is not the first time a young person has lost their life in exactly this way — right here.
Which stories do we cling to in order to survive? And how far back do we have to go to unravel all the lies that make up a life?
In The Crow’s Throne, the political power struggle is every bit as transgressive as the all-consuming games of childhood. And with her masterful psychological insight, Eva Fretheim once again shows why she has taken Norwegian crime readers by storm.
