Product Description 
“Beautifully elegiac and intricately plotted, this is Nordic noir at its best.”—People 
Winner of the Glass Key Award for Best Nordic Crime Novel • Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year • Shortlisted for the Best Swedish Book of the Year Award • One of People Magazine’s Best Books of Fall 
A missing girl, a hidden body, a decades-long cover-up, and old sins cast in new light: the classic procedural meets Scandinavian atmosphere in this rich, character-driven mystery, awarded Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year, that heralds the American debut of a supremely skilled international writer. 
It’s been more than twenty years since Olof Hagström left home. Returning to his family’s house, he knows instantly that something is amiss. The front door key, hidden under a familiar stone, is still there. Inside, there’s a panicked dog, a terrible stench, water pooling on the floor: the father Olaf has not seen or spoken to in decades is dead in the bathroom shower. 
For police detective Eira Sjödin, the investigation of this suspicious death resurrects long-forgotten nightmares. She was only nine when Olof Hagström, then fourteen, was found guilty of raping and murdering a local girl. The case left a mark on the town’s collective memory—a wound that never quite healed—and tinged Eira’s childhood with fear. Too young to be sentenced, Olof was sent to a youth home and exiled from his family. He was never seen in the town again. Until now. 
An intricate crime narrative in which past and present gracefully blend, We Know You Remember is a relentlessly suspenseful and beautifully written novel about guilt and memory in which nothing is what it seems, and unexpected twists upend everything you think you know. 
 Review 
“Strong local color, convincing characters, and a twisty plot make this a standout. This is Swedish noir at its murky best.” -- 
Publishers Weekly, starred review\n“This is a world-class Scandinavian mystery, one that will be mentioned in the same breath with 
Smilla’s Sense of Snow, 
The Redbreast or the Milennium trilogy…. I predict that it will be one of the most talked-about suspense novels of the year.” -- 
BookPage, starred review\n“Compelling and expertly constructed.” -- 
Booklist\n“Alsterdal plots enough twists to keep the police procedural interesting and writes a great woman protagonist; fans of international mystery will be happy to discover her.” -- 
Library Journal\n“A cat-and-mouse game that promises to be full of surprises, as well as thoughtful considerations of grief, guilt, and memory.” -- 
LitHub’s Crimereads\n“Among today’s abundant crime novels, it’s rare to find one that demands a second reading for its language and insight. 
We Know You Remember is one of that small group.” -- 
New York Journal of Books\n“Among today’s abundant crime novels, it’s rare to find one that demands a second reading for its language and insight. 
We Know You Remember is one of that small group, and more American appearances of Tove Alsterdal’s other titles are well worth looking forward to.” -- New York Review of Books\n“Riveting.... The plot structure of this memorable work is brilliantly conceived and executed, and the development of an array of fascinating characters is impressive. As a matter of fact, it is as much a profound psychological study as it is a clever police procedural ... A superb procedural and an acutely revelatory reading experience.” -- Bookreporter\n“A beautiful and atmospheric novel with an interesting plot and a very likeable detective, that I really look forward to meet again.” -- Nordic Noir\n“The prose is methodical and gritty, the characters are diligent, troubled, relentless, and multilayered, and the plot is an ominous tale full of twists, turns, secrets, red herrings, deception, manipulation, desperation, deduction, mayhem, violence, and murder. 
We Know You Remember is an unsettling, atmospheric, taut whodunit by Alsterdal that has all the qualities you look for in a Swedi

Harper Paperbacks

Detective Eira Sjodin, introduced in the electrifying Swedish crime thriller We Know You Remember, races to solve a disappearance that hits chillingly close to home in the second book in the High Coast series, hailed by People as "Nordic noir at its best." In the small mining town of Malmberget, north of the Arctic Circle, residents and their houses are being relocated. As the mine that built the town slowly swallows it street by street, building by building, the memories of the community have collapsed into the huge pit they call "the hole." Only a few stubborn souls cling to their homes, refusing to leave. When two workers making their final preparations hear a sound coming from a basement, they break a cellar window and find a terrified man curled up in a corner. In Ådalen, 700 kilometers away, police officer Eira Sjödin is investigating the disappearance of a man reported missing by his ex-wife. Eira and her colleagues search his apartment, contact his friends and relatives, and query local hospitals, but the man has vanished without a trace. Eira knows the pain of loss--she mourns for her mother, whose mind has been stolen by dementia. To escape her loneliness and her memories, Eira loses herself in a casual affair. But she's wholly unprepared when her feelings deepen for GG, who is twenty years her senior-and her boss. When the diligent GG doesn't show up for work two days in a row, Eira and her colleagues quickly realize that something is wrong--their boss has gone missing. In the dramatic second installment of the High Coast Series, Eira Sjödin finds herself at the mercy of an elusive perpetrator--and of a love she can no longer deny.

You Will Never Be Found: A Mystery Novel (The High Coast Series, 2)

Eira Sjödin is just old enough to remember the summer when 16-year-old Lina Stavren went missing. The entire community was haunted by the disappearance - especially when Olof Hagström, just 14 himself, confessed to the murder.\nEira remembers Olof being sent away, but that was over two decades ago. No one in their small rural community has seen or heard from him since, but the spectre of his crime lingers in the forests around the town.\nBut now Olof is back, and he stands accused of another brutal crime: the murder of his father. Eira will have to untangle years of well-kept secrets to get to a truth . . . because in Ådalen, where Eira knows everyone, nothing is what it seems.
