The Shadow Woman

<b>The second installment of the internationally best selling Erik Winter series </b> <p/> It's August and the annual Gothenburg Party is in full swing. But this year the bacchanalian blowout is simmering with ethnic discord spurred by nativist gangs. When a woman is found murdered in the park-her identity as inscrutable as the blood-red symbol on the tree above her body-Winter's search for her missing child leads him from sleek McMansions to the Gothenburg fringes where northern suburbs is code for outsider and the past is inescapable-even for Sweden's youngest chief inspector. Psychologically gripping and socially astute <i>The Shadow Woman</i> puts this master of Swedish noir on track to build an American audience on par with his international fame.
