The motivation behind the deaths of Bonnie Hayden and her five-year-old son, Simon, is mysterious--there is no sign of robbery. Who would brutally stab a defenseless woman and her child? In a parallel story, another mother, Mass Malthe, navigates life with her adult son, Eddie. It's a relationship some would call too close, since Eddie's father, a man he obsesses over, abandoned them many years ago. As Sejer searches for the truth behind the seemingly senseless killings, \u003cem\u003eHell Fire\u003c\/em\u003e deftly probes why we lie to those closest to us, and what drives people to commit the most horrific of crimes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"There's always something dark hovering on the edge of the page, something about getting what you wish for and the crushing irony when that gift proves your undoing.\" --\u003cem\u003e New York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKARIN FOSSUM is the author of the internationally successful Inspector Konrad Sejer crime series.
