2 Series

Karin Fossum is a Norwegian author renowned for her crime fiction, particularly the Inspector Konrad Sejer series, which has been translated into 25 languages. She began her writing career as a poet at the age of 20. Fossum has also worked in hospitals, nursing homes, and rehab centers.

In Karin Fossum's "Calling Out For You," also known as "The Indian Bride," Gunder Jomann travels to India to find a wife, only to return home with tragic news of her murder. The quiet Norwegian village is thrust into turmoil as Inspector Konrad Sejer investigates the brutal crime. In "In the Darkness," alternatively titled "Eva's Eye," a seemingly perfect family man, Ewald, is found dead in his car, leading Sejer to unravel the dark secrets behind the facade. Both novels delve into the complexities of human nature and the impact of violence on small communities.
