Book description
Ida, a good-natured, happy girl, is looking forward to her tenth
birthday when she gets on her brand new bike and sets off to buy sweets.
She should be back within half an hour but she never returns. Her
mother, frantic with worry, calls the shop, friends and family but no
one has seen her daughter. As the relatives reach breaking point and the
media circus begins, Inspector Sejer is calm and reassuring, but inside
he is worried: missing children are normally found within forty-eight
hours. Ida seems to have vanished without a trace. KARIN FOSSUM made
her literary debut in Norway in 1974. She is the author of poetry, short
stories and several novels, and her Inspector Sejer series has been
published in twenty-six countries.
