“One of the standouts of the Nordic thriller boom.” —New York Magazine   Riktor doesn’t like the way the policeman storms into his home without even knocking. He doesn’t like the arrogant way he walks around the house, taking note of its contents. The policeman doesn’t bother to explain why he’s there, and Riktor is too afraid to ask. He knows he’s guilty of a terrible crime and he’s sure the policeman has found him out. But when the policeman finally does arrest him, it’s for something totally unexpected. Riktor doesn’t have a clear conscience, but the crime he’s being accused of is one he certainly didn’t commit. Imprisoned and desperate to break out, he fights to clear his name without further incriminating himself, in a gripping standalone novel from “a truly great writer” (Jo Nesbø).

Review “The great Norwegian crime novelist Karin Fossum has a special gift for voices. She’s come up with a humdinger in the first-person narrator…It’s wrenching.” —Washington Post   “Unsettling and scarily well written.”—Ian Rankin, The Guardian (UK) “Fossum descends deep into the alienated mind of Riktor to create an exquisitely Poe-ish novel of psychological suspense.” —More   “The queen of Norwegian crime fiction, the prolific and brilliant Fossum has riddled the quaint countryside north of Oslo with imagined crimes…In Fossum’s literary thrillers, the crime is almost incidental to a deeper moral crisis: Her killers aren’t madmen but ordinary people driven to monstrous acts.” —Men’s Journal   “A taut, well-paced book…Chilling.” —Dallas Morning News   “Fossum vividly unpacks the mind of a troubled individual in this haunting psychological thriller…Compelling—if unsettling—character study for fans of psychological suspense.” —Library Journal   “Readers who can handle the darkest tales will be rewarded by Fossum’s streamlined, thoughtfully constructed story.” —Booklist   “[A] first-rate novel of suspense…Clever and compelling standalone.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review   “A chilling portrait of a dead-eyed devil.” —Kirkus

16 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Fossum is in top form By knittingmom Karin Fossum is probably best known for her Inspector Konrad Sejer series, and deservedly so, however I am reviewing her standalone book, I Can See In the Dark. Fossum is in true crime writing form in crafting her main character Riktor, by all accounts a loner with no family or ties, except his job, which is good at, until the day the police storm his home and Riktor has no idea why. He certainly is not the innocent others believe, but he is stunned into silence as he is being arrested for a crime he most certainly did not commit. I Can See In the Dark is an exceptionally dark thriller with fantastic characters, wonderful plot twists, and enough suspense to keep me reading straight through. Fossum is in top form I creating the character of Riktor, by all accounts not an innocent man or even a nice man, but certainly not guilty of the charges he is arrested for, how does he get out of this crime without confessing to another? Brilliantly crafted and executed, I highly recommend I Can See In the Dark to all suspense thriller fans.

9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Haunting Tale with a Horror Feel By Stephanie De Pue I CAN SEE IN THE DARK is a new standalone thriller from Norwegian author Karin Fossum, author of the internationally successful Inspector Konrad Sejer crime series whose recent honors include a Gumshoe Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for mystery/thriller. She certainly seems to be current queen of Scandinavian mysteries, hottest woman writer emanating from that cold universe, and has been called ‘a truly great writer’ by her Norwegian colleague Jo Nesbo, who must surely be considered king of the Scandinavian mystery/thriller since the untimely death of Stieg Larsson (THE MILLENIUM TRILOGY).Fossum follows in the great tradition of Patricia Highsmith, (RIPLEY, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN), in giving us a tight, eerie psychological thriller narrated by its psychopathic protagonist, Riktor. He has positioned himself well for his sadistic inclinations, as he has become a male nurse in the Lokka nursing home, in the wing for the weakest and oldest. There he may abuse and mistreat his charges seemingly at will. A fortysomething loner, unattractive to everyone, who has never had a relationship with a woman and yearns for one, he hides his ‘evil little devil’ in a placid exterior, by mimicking his co-workers, which he, with his psychopathic abilities, is well able to do. The law finally catches up to him, but for the wrong reasons, and from there, the game is on. Fossum refuses to offer us easy explanations for her creepy predator’s mental disorder: she does not point at his genes, his upbringing, society at large, but leaves us to reach our own conclusions.The author, as ever, does well with the sheer writing of this bleakly compelling suspense novel. She gives us Norway, the region of its capital Oslo, its byways, highways, social ways, weather, geography, flora and fauna with witty exactitude. Her narrative writing and dialog are fine. Her plotting is gripping, unsettling, although I did have one quibble with it: her use of a plot device that seemed rather lazy television to reach her conclusion. I’ve read, reviewed and liked several of this writer’s works, BAD INTENTIONS, EVA’S EYE and THE INDIAN BRIDE: my reviews may be found on their respective web pages.This chilling and haunting tale with a horror feel seems also to owe a bit to that great twentieth century Central European writer of existentialism, Franz Kafka, (THE METAMORPHOSIS). It is unsettling and disturbing, told in the spare Scandinavian style, with however, that emphatic violence that seems to be a hallmark of its literature. Mind you, I’ve been a fan of Scandinavian mysteries for a long time, back to the days of its founding mother and father, Per Wahloo and Maj Sjowall and their series about Martin Beck, THE LAUGHING POLICEMAN. This novel of suspense is not for everyone, but it is first-rate.

7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. unexpected By Michael Burke Story opens with a personal narrative. A point of view from a strange individual who likes to sit in parks watching children play and watching everything else. Birds, trees, wind. An unexpected journey by a marvelous writer with a very good translator.
