Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Critics are raving about this deliciously chilling new thriller from Scandanavian crime-writing sensation Camilla Läckberg.
Named by major media outlets, such as USA TODAY , The New York Times , and The Washington Post , as a main successor to Stieg Larsson, Swedish author Läckberg is on the rise. Her new novel, which The Washington Post has already named as one of their "Ten Books We Love This Year" and praised as "richly textured and downright breathtaking," continues the story of local detective Patrik Hedström and his girlfriend, Erica Falck, the beloved crime-solving duo whose first child has just been born. But while they celebrate this new life, a suspicious drowning claims a little girl they knew well. As the murder's implications widen, Patrik's investigation threatens to tear apart the rural fishing village of Fjällbacka, where a secret lurks that spans generations.
A deeply satisfying third installment in her internationally bestselling series, The Stonecutter will establish Läckberg for the U.S. audience once and for all. As USA TODAY says, "If you haven't yet read the equally entrancing Ice Princess and The Preacher , what are you waiting for?"
Originally published in 2010 by HarperCollins.
