Stina Jackson - Összezárva

"There are no monsters, only people."
A remote, secluded Swedish village. Snow, endless roads, forests frozen in darkness, a bottomless well - this is Ödesmark.
There is not one bizarre, distorted figure among the inhabitants of the settlement, but they all have one thing in common: the hatred for Vidar, who, taking advantage of other people's misfortune, has amassed a huge fortune, which, according to rumors, he hides in his house. The old man lives under the same roof with his daughter, Liv, and his grandson, whom he keeps on a short leash and makes their lives miserable. The man watches every step of the neighbors with a prying eye and doesn't trust anyone in the world. Although Vidar is a hardy old man, time has passed on him, so the possibility of easy prey excites the imagination of many. And there are those who do not shy away from violence... When Vidar is murdered, it is almost impossible to find out who did it, since almost everyone in the village would have been willing to do it. But the forest covers the noises, the snow muffles the screams, the well hides the secret, the houses hide the criminals, and the village is silent.
Stina Jackson, who became famous in one fell swoop with her debut novel The Silver Road, takes the reader to the northernmost landscapes of Sweden in her new psychological thriller, while dissecting toxic human relationships and the possibility or impossibility of breaking out.
