«Gli occhi dell'assassino» is the crime novel by Håkan Nesser, published by Guanda in Italian (paperback, 528 pages).
In the summer of 1995, Leon Berger arrives in the small Swedish town of K. to work as a teacher after the death of his wife and daughter in an accident. He replaces the late Professor Kallmann, whose death in unclear circumstances unsettles the school, shaken by racism and threats. Finding Kallmann's diaries, Leon discovers that his predecessor was convinced that an unpunished killer lived in K. and that he could recognise him by looking people in the eye. Together with psychologist Ludmilla and Professor Igor, Leon tries to find out whether those writings hide a real crime and what lies behind Kallmann's death.
Work originally published in 2016 as «Eugen Kallmanns ögon». This Italian edition of 2020 belongs to the Narratori della Fenice collection and features a translation by Carmen Giorgetti Cima.
For readers of Nordic crime fiction and psychological mysteries seeking an apparently peaceful town with unsettling secrets.
