____________________
When a dead man is lifted from the freezing waters of Oslo Harbour
just before Christmas, Detective Lena Stigersand’s stressful life
suddenly becomes even more complicated. Not only is she dealing with a
cancer scare, a stalker and an untrustworthy boyfriend, but it seems
that both a politician and Norway’s security services might be
involved in the murder.
With her trusted colleagues, Gunnarstranda and Frølich, at her side,
Lena digs deep into the case and finds that it not only goes to the
heart of the Norwegian establishment, but it might be rather to close
to her personal life for comfort.
Dark, complex and nail-bitingly tense, _The Ice Swimmer_ is a simply
unforgettable instalment in the critically acclaimed Oslo Detective
series, by the godfather of Nordic Noir.

‘I have read many clever and thrilling crime novels through my life,
but often they have nothing to do with real life. If I don’t believe
in them, they don’t impress me. But when Kjell Ola Dahl tells his
stories, I believe every single word’ KARIN FOSSUM
