"Beautifully elegiac and intricately plotted, this is Nordic noir at its best."--PeopleWinner of the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel - Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year - Shortlisted for the Best Swedish Book of the Year Award - One of People Magazine's Best Books of Fall A missing girl, a hidden body, a decades-long cover-up, and old sins cast in new light: the classic procedural meets Scandinavian atmosphere in this rich, character-driven mystery, awarded Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year, that heralds the American debut of a supremely skilled international writer. It's been more than twenty years since Olof Hagstr m left home. Returning to his family's house, he knows instantly that something is amiss. The front door key, hidden under a familiar stone, is still there. Inside, there's a panicked dog, a terrible stench, water pooling on the floor: the father Olaf has not seen or spoken to in decades is dead in the bathroom shower.For police detective Eira Sj din, the investigation of this suspicious death resurrects long-forgotten nightmares. She was only nine when Olof Hagstr m, then fourteen, was found guilty of raping and murdering a local girl. The case left a mark on the town's collective memory--a wound that never quite healed--and tinged Eira's childhood with fear. Too young to be sentenced, Olof was sent to a youth home and exiled from his family. He was never seen in the town again. Until now. An intricate crime narrative in which past and present gracefully blend, We Know You Remember is a relentlessly suspenseful and beautifully written novel about guilt and memory in which nothing is what it seems, and unexpected twists upend everything you think you know.

I et øde hus ved Offerssjön, langt inne i de svenske skogene, blir en ihjelsultet mann funnet. Han har vært innelåst lenge og har forsøkt å overleve på insekter. To av fingrene på den venstre hånden er hugget av. Politietterforsker Eira Sjödin settes på saken. I det nesten forlatte gruvesamfunnet Malmberget, sytti mil lenger nord, finner hun et offer til. Han har også blitt innestengt for å dø. Etter hvert som Eira oppdager skremmende sammenhenger, forsvinner det nok en mann. Denne gangen berører det Eira personlig.

Olof var bare fjorten år da han tilsto drapet på tenåringsjenta Lina Stavred. Så forlot han bygda. En lys sommernatt tjuetre år senere svinger han av motorveien på impuls og kjører landeveien som fører til barndomshjemmet. I dusjen finner han faren sin død, drept med en jaktkniv. Politietterforsker Eira Sjödin har akkurat kommet tilbake til sin barndoms trakter for å ta vare på sin gamle mor.

Olof var gutten i marerittene hennes. «Sommerens store spenningsopplevelse» Ole Jacob Hoel, Adresseavisen«Dette er skandinavisk krim i verdensklasse – kommer til å bli nevnt i samme åndedrag som Frøken Smillas fornemmelse for snø, Rødstrupe eller Millennium-trilogien.» BookPage Magazine, USA«Tove Alsterdal leverer, både når det gjelder spenning og språk. Hennes billedlige metaforer får det til å gå kaldt nedover ryggen på en.» Aftonbladet søndag «Kvaliteten på bøkene i den svenske krimjungelen er mildt sagt varierende, men Tove Alsterdal er en av sjangerens aller beste.» Damernas Värld«Tove Alsterdal er god til å veve sammen fortellinger og til å gå i dybden av redselens kriker og kroker, som en storm som river opp røtter og kaster nytt lys over vedtatte sannheter.» NSD «I mylderet av krimmer som utgis – og som det går tretten av på dusinet – skiller Tover Alsterdal seg ut med lesverdig kvalitet. Hun binder sammen da og nå, politikk og privatliv,til en velskrevet og tankevekkende vev av spenning.» Magasin M «Smart intrige og en suggererende stemning som ikke slipper taket et eneste sekund.» TARA
