Critics are raving about this deliciously chilling new thriller from Scandanavian crime-writing sensation Camilla L�ckberg.Named by major media outlets, such as USA TODAY, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, as a main successor to Stieg Larsson, Swedish author L�ckberg is on the rise. Her new novel, which The Washington Post has already named as one of their �Ten Books We Love This Year� and praised as �richly textured and downright breathtaking,� continues the story of local detective Patrik Hedstr�m and his girlfriend, Erica Falck, the beloved crime-solving duo whose first child has just been born. But while they celebrate this new life, a suspicious drowning claims a little girl they knew well. As the murder�s implications widen, Patrik�s investigation threatens to tear apart the rural fishing village of Fj�llbacka, where a secret lurks that spans generations. A deeply satisfying third installment in her internationally bestselling series, The Stonecutter will establish L�ckberg for the U.S. audience once and for all. As USA TODAY says, �If you haven�t yet read the equally entrancing Ice Princess and The Preacher, what are you waiting for?�
