Description
Peter Brolin's life is a mess. Heavily in debt, a failure in his business and personal life, he is one of life's nice-guy losers. Sitting alone in a cafe one day he is approached by a woman who obviously mistakes him for someone else. Before Peter can explain she has gone - leaving behind a package that she wishes to be delivered to her husband. The package and its gruesome contents lure Peter into a nightmarish hunt for this insane, obsessed woman - a hunt which eventually forces Peter to face up to his own murky past. Karin Alvtegen, crowned queen of crime writing in her native Sweden, has produced a taut psychological tale of one man's confrontation with guilt and fear. Darkly atmospheric and full of unexpected twists, Guilt will not release you until its final page has turned.
