Synopsis

Early one September, three friends spend the weekend at a remote cabin by Dead Water Lake. With only a pale moon to light their way, they row across the water in the middle of the night. But only two of them return, and they make a pact not to call for help until the following morning. Inspector Sejer leads the investigation when the body is discovered. He is troubled by the apparent suicide and has an overwhelming sense that the surviving pair has something to hide. Weeks pass without further clues, and then in a nearby lake the body of a teenage boy floats to the surface.

Book Overview: An outstanding psychological crime novel from Karin Fossum: when a body surfaces in a lake Inspector Sejer must uncover a dark secret of betrayal and paranoia

Media Reviews
Seriously good. Fossum avoids predictable trappings and cuts straight to the tragedy of young death and the blinding effect of conscience, without a single wasted word. I loved it. -- Frances Fyfield Fascinatingly readable and very cleverly done -- Colin Dexter Bad Intentions is an utterly engrossing and darkly compelling mystery that easily confirms Fossum as one of crime writing's most distinctive voices. Booktrust This is a battle of wits, conducted with chilly intensity and an unsettling sense of menace. -- Joan Smith Sunday Times Few match her ability to conjure an atmosphere of emotional as well as geographical desolation -- Marcel Berlins The Times
