Winner of the Swedish Crime academy Award for Best Crime Novel, "The Princess of Burundi" introduces readers to a leading crime writer from Sweden whose work has created an international sensation. Eriksson's U.S. debut opens a week before Christmas when a Swedish town is rocked by the brutal murder of John Jonsson, a local family man. Detectives, led by a very pregnant Inspector Ann Lindell, at first suspect a chillingly well-drawn psychotic, and they may be right. But if they are not right, that leaves a cunning and vicious murderer on the loose in their town...A page-turner from start to finish, "The Princess of Burundi" catapults Eriksson to the top ranks of international crime fiction writers.
