About This Item
New York, N. Y., U.S.A.: Doubleday, 1998. First American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Translated by Joan Tate. UNDER THE SNOW opens with a phone call from an outlying village to police constable Torsson, and the news is of a mah jong party turned sour. A brawl broke out and a man named Matti was accidentally killed. When he questions the villagers, Torsson notices some minor discrepancies in their stories, but writes them off as unimportant.It is not until a few months later that he is forced to reopen the case: David, an eccentric artist and old friend of Matti, has arrived in town for a visit with no knowledge of the death. David has an uneasy feeling about the whole affair, and when he finds Anna Ryd, the town's beautiful English teacher, running away with a bag containing a noose with human hairs on it, he makes it his business to find out what happened.Gradually the facts of the case come to light and dark deeds which were covered up in the snow and darkness of winter are finally brought to light under the relentless summer sun. BLACKWATER, Kerstin Ekman's first novel published in English, was awarded the Swedish Crime Academy's award for Best Crime Novel, the August Prize; and the Nordic Council's Literary Prize. As new, unread, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket.[Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] M9
