Sobre este artículo
New York, New York, U.S.A. : Alfred A., Knopf, Inc., 2011. First U.S. Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page in black fountain ink. Translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett. Two young women are found murdered in Oslo, both drowned in their own blood. Media coverage quickly reaches fever pitch: Could this be the work of a serial killer? The crime scenes offer no coherent clues, the police investigation is stalled, and the one man who might be able to help doesn't want to be found. Traumatized by his last case, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. Yet when he is compelled, at last, to return to Norway - his father is dying - Harry's buried instincts begin to take over. After a female MP is discovered brutally murdered, nothing can keep him from the investigation. There is little to go on: a piece of rope, a scrap of wool, a bit of gravel, an unexpected connection between the victims. And Harry will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath for whom "insanity is a vital retreat," someone who will put him to the test - in both his professional and personal lives - as never before. Fine, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] M85

El Jul 27 2012, Tulika dijo:
White Window enables readers to observe the characters of the novel. Window gives us scope to study the characters and white window means honest study. White WindowThe protagonist Pramath Biswas and his friend Boris are sympathetic and emotional where as the political leaders and the police chief are cunning. The leaders are scared lest their links with the terrorist Salem be exposed. The chief doesn't hesitate to convict innocent Sonai, only to stay in favour of his political bosses.The language is evocative and the writer has done research work before writing the book.
