Karin Fossum, When the Devil Holds the Candle
"Either somebody just slid an ice cube down
your back or you're reading the opening pages of When the Devil Holds the
Candle ... a psychological tour de force."
- O, The Oprah Magazine
When the Devil Holds the Candle is the third book in Karin Fossum's Inspector Sejer series.
At the center of this story is Andreas Winther, a handsome but narcissistic and treacherously restless 18-year-old. Andreas breaks into an old woman's house to rob her. When his victim, the very disturbed Irma Funder, tries to defend herself she pushes Andreas down the cellar stairs. He lands badly, unable to move but alive.
What develops between the motionless young man and the reclusive lady is a strange, excruciating, but curiously caring relationship that serves as a weird balance to the hunt for Andreas conducted by Sejer and his colleague Jacob Skarre.
