«Vergüenza» is the suspense novel by Karin Alvtegen, published by Roca Editorial in hardcover (288 pages, in Spanish).
The novel pits two very different women against each other: Monika, a self-assured chief physician, and Maj-Britt, a lonely, overweight woman who is hostile towards social services. The two do not know each other, but both carry a bitter past that has marked them and drives them into isolation. An unforeseen event disrupts their routines and leads them into an extreme situation in which they must confront their past.
Spanish edition translated by Carmen Montes Cano. Originally published as «Skam» in 2005. The novel was nominated for the CWA International Dagger in 2007.
Will appeal to readers of Scandinavian crime fiction and psychological suspense, with characters of great emotional depth.
