An unidentified woman lies beheaded in a posh suburban home--a brutal crime made all the more disturbing by its uncanny resemblance to an unsolved killing ten years earlier. But this time there's a suspect: the charismatic and controversial chain-store CEO Jesper Orre, who owns the home but is nowhere to be found. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo homicide detectives Peter Lindgren and Manfred Olsson, nothing about the suave, high-profile businessman--including a playboy reputation and rumors of financial misdeeds--suggests he conceals the dark heart and twisted mind of a cold-blooded killer. In search of a motive, Lindgren and Olsson turn to the brilliant criminal profiler Hanne Lagerlind-Sch n. Once a valued police asset, now marooned in unhappy retirement and a crumbling marriage, she's eager to exercise her keen skills again--and offer the detectives a window into the secret soul of Jesper Orre. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But they're not the only ones searching. Two months before, Emma Bohman, a young clerk at Orre's company, chanced to meet the charming chief executive, and romance swiftly bloomed. Almost as quickly as the passionate affair ignited, it was over when Orre inexplicably disappeared. One staggering misfortune after another followed, leaving Emma certain that her runaway lover was to blame and transforming her confusion and heartbreak into anger. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, pursuing the same mysterious man for different reasons, Emma and the police are destined to cross paths in a chilling dance of obsession, vengeance, madness, and love gone hellishly wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Ice Beneath Her\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"\u003c\/b\u003eExceptional.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Impressive . . . a tour de force that lifts its author to the front rank among the increasingly crowded field of Nordic noir.\"\u003cb\u003e--\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eThe Ice Beneath Her\u003c\/i\u003e deserves to be called a page-turner--I read it in one sitting  The narrative is fast-paced and the twists superb.\"\u003cb\u003e--Cecilia Ekb ck, bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eWolf Winter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ballantine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/27\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780425284322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2016 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2016 pg. 29\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Camilla Grebe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43049436381365,"sku":"9780425284322","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_feb811aa-aa69-4470-b50a-4469ff92d2a8.jpg?v=1689689594","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-ice-beneath-her-9780425284322","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
