I couldn't put it down... Add to this a depiction of the Swedish countryside which rivals Mankell at his best and you have a very atmospheric book. Camilla Ceder is definitely a writer to watch and I'm looking forward to the next Christian Tell book. (www.thebookbag.co.uk)

A rookie reporter, a world-weary police inspector, a body that has been executed then run over, and an unsolved mystery from the past lie at the heart of this intricate psychological puzzler. (WOMAN & HOME)

A good psychological crime novel that will appeal to fans of Wallander and Steig Larsson. (CHOICE)

well constructed and pacy, with plenty of twists and turns and a vividly evoked atmosphere. (BIG ISSUE)

Camilla Ceder is a Swedish writer whose first crime novel, Frozen Moment, takes on two of her country's greats. Her provincial detective Christian Tell is more sensitive than Henning Mankell's Wallender, while an extraordinary twist offers a woman's take on Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander. Two men are killed by the same method - shot in the head and repeatedly run over by a car - and the murders lead Tell to an unsolved crime in the past. This is a terrific debut. (THE SUNDAY TIMES)

Is Jo Nesb�'s new Norwegian detective Harry Hole, really fit to take up the lonely beat of the Nordic cop [Wallander], or does Inspector Christian Tell, the hero of Camilla Ceder's new book, make a better candidate? (THE GUARDIAN)

Rese�a del editor:

One cold morning in December, in a small rural town on the Swedish coast, Ake Melkersson is on his way to work when his car breaks down. Luckily he spots a garage nearby, but as he approaches he realises something is wrong. The owner of the garage lies dead, sprawled on the ground, his lower body crushed where a car has repeatedly driven over him. The murder investigation is led by Inspector Christian Tell who is something of a lone wolf. But he has very few clues to go on and the deceased's wife is out of the country on holiday.

Ten years earlier Maya Granith is living at a college for troubled teenagers after escaping her shattered home and her neurotic mother. But when an older student takes an overbearing interest in her things begin to go wrong. Back in the present, another murder occurs when a man is shot in the head; again his body has been driven over several times. Tell is becoming increasingly involved with a female reporter but as she witness on the first case, their relationship is complicated - especially when aspects of the case remind the reporter of someone she knew who went missing ten years earlier.
