Winner of the Swedish Crime Academy Award for Best Crime Novel, The Princess of Burundi introduces American readers to a crime writer who has quickly become an international sensation. This spellbinding new thriller opens when a young father fails to show up for supper on a snowy night just before Christmas. His is not the only sinister disappearance, and before the final breathtaking climax, a secret killer terrorizes an entire frightened town.
Already a huge star in Europe and the Nordic countries, Kjell Eriksson has American critics raving also. His next novel in the series, The Cruel Stars of the Night, is forthcoming soon from Thomas Dunne Books. Eriksson lives in Sweden.

Very satisfying."- Los Angeles Times "A deeply insightful psychological thriller."- Midwest Book Review "Suspenseful, intelligent, and perceptive . . . terrific."- Publishers Weekly
