Thriller
An international literary sensation about an arsonist
on the loose in rural Norway and the young man haunted
by the story In 1970s Norway, an arsonist
targets a small town for one long, terrifying month. One by
one, buildings go up in flames. Suspicion spreads among the
neighbors as they wonder if one of their own is responsible.
But as the heat and panic rise, new life finds a way to
emerge. Amid the chaos, only a day before the last
house is set afire, the community comes together for
the christening of a young boy named Gaute Heivoll. As he
grows up, stories about the time of fear and fire become
deeply engrained in his young mind until, as an adult, he
begins to retell the story. At the novel’s apex the lives of
Heivoll’s friends and neighbors mix with his own life,
and the identity of the arsonist and his motivations
are slowly revealed. Based on the true account of Norway’s
most dramatic arson case, Before I Burn is a
powerful, gripping breakout novel from an exceptionally
talented author.
