Unseen - Softcover

""Unseen" has everything we have come to expect from a great Swedish crime novel--- graceful prose, deft characterization, and a setting that is somehow both familiar and strange, like a kind of dream-world. But what makes this first novel unique is its author's ability to write with a bird's-eye view about horrible events while at the same time maintaining a poet's sense of intimacy about what her characters think and feel. Possessing such skills as these---scope and heart, a desire to get to the truth---makes Mari Jungstedt the new writer to watch." ---Daniel Judson, Shamus Award winner and author of "The Darkest Place" "A remarkable debut.""--Der Spiegel""""Tense, psychologically credible crime fiction that boasts both a concise plot and sympathetic and complex characters."--"literature.de""True Swedish crime - exciting, harsh, yet sensitive."--"Hoerzu"

`Just when I thought that the flow of impressive crime writers
from the Nordic countries was slowing down, up pops another. Unseen is the
Swede Mari Jungstedt's first novel, but it doesn't feel like it. She is in
total control of plot and pace, conveys chilling atmosphere and her
characters are well above average for believability' Marcel Berlins, The
Times.
