The Night Garden

He is an outsider, a stranger with a past that has plenty to hide. Time spent in prison has cut all ties to his native town. He wishes to make his stay brief, he has to tie up some loose ends after his mother’s demise before he leaves town. But something forces him to stay on, the shadows of the past take a grip on him and hold him back. Forgotten passions are revived. At the same time he dreads the moment when someone will recognize him and remember the agonizing incident of his crime, conviction and sentence. And when a young girl is found murdered, he becomes a suspect. But is he guilty? And was he guilty back then, years ago?

Knut Faldbakken researches the darkest sides of mankind. He does so with great insight and an uncanny boldness.
