Suspended from duty, Detective Frølich is working as a private
investigator, when his girlfriend’s colleague asks for his help with
a female asylum seeker, who the authorities are about to deport. She
claims to have a sister in Norway, and fears that returning to her
home country will mean instant death.
Frølich quickly discovers the whereabouts of the young woman’s
sister, but things become increasingly complex when she denies having
a sibling, and Frølich is threatened off the case by the police. As
the body count rises, it becomes clear that the answers lie in an old
investigation, and the mysterious sister, who is now on the run…
A dark, chilling and up-to-the-minute Nordic Noir
thriller, _Sister_ is also a tense and well-plotted murder mystery
with a moving tragedy at its heart, cementing Kjell Ola Dahl as one of
the greatest crime writers of our generation.

‘Kjell Ola Dahl has always been skilful at character and setting,
but the particular defining characteristic of Sister is the steadily
accelerating pace, handled with a sure touch. And Frølich remains a
rounded and intriguing character, particularly in this latest
iteration’ BARRY FORSHAW, _FINANCIAL TIMES_
‘Kjell Ola Dahl’s novels are superb’ WILLIAM RYAN
‘Dark, stylish and suspenseful … the perfect example of why Nordic
Noir has become such a popular genre’ _READER’S DIGEST_
‘If you have never sampled Dahl, now is the time to try’ _DAILY
MAIL_
‘Suspenseful, beautifully and clearly written, with a sure-footed
plot, this is a book that thrills’ LIVE & DEADLY
‘Dahl is a quiet master of the detective thriller, delivering
complex plots and a simpatico hero — Frank Frolich, cop turned PI
— with Chandleresque elan plus a serious intelligence that roots out
essential truths. Here, Frolich is pulled into the “shadowlands”
of Norway’s asylum seekers and those who profit from them, in an
impeccably plotted gold-star, A-grade work of Scandi noir’ _THE
