Publisher's summary

International best seller Samuel Bjork makes his US debut with a chilling and fast-paced thriller in which two detectives must hunt down a vengeful killer - and uncover the secret that ties each of them to the crime.

A six-year-old girl is found in the Norwegian countryside, hanging lifeless from a tree and dressed in strange doll's clothes. Around her neck is a sign that says, "I'm traveling alone."

A special homicide unit in Oslo reopens with veteran police investigator Holger Munch at the helm. Holger's first step is to persuade the brilliant but haunted investigator Mia Krüger, who has been living on an isolated island, overcome by memories of her past. When Mia views a photograph of the crime scene and spots the number one carved into the dead girl's fingernail, she knows this is only the beginning. Could this killer have something to do with a missing child abducted six years ago and never found or with the reclusive religious community hidden in the nearby woods?

Mia returns to duty to track down a revenge-driven and ruthlessly intelligent killer. But when Munch's own six-year-old granddaughter goes missing, Mia realizes that the killer's sinister game is personal, and I'm Traveling Alone races to an explosive - and shocking - conclusion.

excellent!

best performance I've ever heard! thank you! great pacing and wonderful new set of characters to obsess over. a little odd to have so many similar-sounding names, but easily the best debut of the genre in a while.

Different but good

Good storyline that comes together in the end. Some parts were unnecessary especially about Mus but all and all a nice distraction with a good narrator voice

Norweigian suspense by a great author

Not crazy about books with children as victims but made an exception w/this book. It held my interest all along and now I will try to find more books by this author.

Couldn't get into it

This is one of the slowest novels I have experienced in a long time, even by Scandanavian Noir standards. Too much navel gazing, not enough story.

good story

but the dialogue was frequently very immature, not only when children were speaking. maybe it is just the translation
