Order of Inspector Sejer Books

Inspector Konrad Sejer stands at the heart of Norwegian author Karin Fossum's acclaimed crime fiction series. This Oslo-based detective navigates complex cases alongside his colleague Inspector Jakob Skarre in stories that have captivated readers worldwide.

While Fossum launched the series in 1995 with In the Darkness, English-speaking audiences first encountered Sejer through Don't Look Back in 2002, originally published in Norwegian in 1996. The translation timeline means that In the Darkness didn't reach English readers until 2012, despite being the series opener.
