Summary

DETECTIVE WILLIAM WISTING IS BACK TO SOLVE A CHILLING NEW CASE IN THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THAT BRINGS DANGER CLOSE TO HOME

Detective William Wisting has spent years solving the cases that others can’t.

But when his daughter, Line, unearths information about the little-known past of Adrian Stiller – head of the Cold Case Unit in Oslo – including the mysterious disappearance of Stiller’s high school sweetheart, Wisting trusts Line to follow the trail.

Wisting is looking forward to taking a step back. When his former boss dies, however, Wisting suspects foul play was involved. Particularly when a link to Stiller and another cold case emerges…

As secrets come to light, new and old threads intertwine – and at the centre of it all stands Wisting, who alongside his daughter, must solve one last case.

Praise for Jørn Lier Horst
Compelling, original and suspenseful
Relentlessly exciting...creates a real sense of menace
Tense, fast-paced...compelling
A spare, sparse thriller that slips down very easily. Perfect weekend reading
Spare prose, elegant structure, and a masterful layering of secrets and suspense. Brilliant!
