A boy arrives - breathless and aghast - at his police station, to report the discovery of a horribly maimed body outside an isolated house in the woods. Yet there was another person in the woods that day - standing nearby, hidden within the trees, was the mysterious figure of the local misfit, Errki. The next morning a bank in the nearby town is robbed at gunpoint. The gunman takes a hostage and flees. As his plans begin to come apart he, unlike his passive hostage, rapidly loses control. Meanwhile the search for the killer has developed into a manhunt - everyone is looking for the enigmatic Errki.

If you like the Swedish crime writer Henning Mankell, you'll also enjoy the work of Karin Fossum. He Who Fears the Wolf is distinguished by a humane approach to its troubled characters
- Independent
Fossum's presentation of her characters is marked by an intelligence and compassion that is not often found in the pages of crime fiction
- Sunday Times
Fossum's highly atmospheric and involving books are among the best being produced in the genre today... Like the best of Ruth Rendell, this is a dark and unsettling novel
- Crime Time
Karin Fossum made her literary d-but in Norway with a collection of poetry in 1974. She has since published another volume of poetry, two collections of short stories and one non-crime novel. Her crime novels featuring Inspector Konrad Sejer are published in sixteen languages.
