Fresh from rehab, Norwegian PI Varg Veum faces his most complex
investigation yet, when a man is found drowned, a young woman
disappears, and the case of a missing child is revived. The classic
Nordic Noir series continues… ‘As searing and gripping as they
come’ New York Times ‘One of my very favourite Scandinavian
authors’ Ian Rankin ‘The Norwegian Chandler’ Jo Nesbø ***Now
a major TV series starring Trond Espen Seim***
________________________ PI Varg Veum has returned to duty following a
stint in rehab, but his new composure and resolution are soon
threatened when a challenging assignment arrives on his desk. A man is
found dead in an elite swimming pool and a young woman has gone
missing. Most chillingly, Varg Veum is asked to investigate the
‘Camilla Case’: an eight-year-old cold case involving the
disappearance of a little girl, who was never found. As the threads of
these apparently unrelated crimes come together, against the backdrop
of a series of shocking environmental crimes, Varg Veum faces the most
challenging, traumatic investigation of his career.

hopeful and hopeless … it’s rich and it’s sharp and it’s
cynical and sentimental all at once’ NB Magazine ‘A complex,
layered plot in which human tragedy and mystery combine to play out
beautifully in a classic Nordic noir with a touch of Christie’ Live
