Sudden murder and the resulting psychological tension are the hallmarks of Inger Frimansson’s acclaimed thrillers. In The Island of Naked Women, Tobias, an author of mystery novels, must return to the family farm after his father became incapacitated due to a fall from the hayloft. Tobias resents his father’s judgmental attitude, but he finds the allure of his father’s young wife Sabina hard to resist. Meanwhile, Hardy, the hired hand, scoffs at Tobias’ city ways, while encouraging Sabina’s mentally challenged son Adam to turn into an Elvis impersonator; and Ingelize, who runs a nearby riding school, finds Tobias irresistible. The rural life becomes increasingly claustrophobic for Tobias, but before he can return to the city, death strikes a hard blow and chaos ensues.

About the Author:

Inger Frimansson, author and journalist, is considered by critics to be Sweden’s premier author of psychological thrillers. They place her novels in the same class as the best English and American novels in the genre. Inger Frimansson’s writing is characterized by the way she sees the dark and morbid reality behind what seems to be an idyll. Her style is concise and suggestive and she has established herself as one of Sweden’s bestselling thriller writers. Frimansson is the only female writer to be awarded twice with the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers’ Award (for Good Night, My Darling in 1998 and for The Shadow in the Water in 2005, both of which have been published by Caravel Books).
