An intricate psychological thriller from the master of Norwegian crime writing.

I am a big fan of these Scandinavian novels, even though I don't read them as often as I used to. But I always look for more by the authors I like a lot and Dahl's one of them. Frølich and Gunnarstranda are back and as interesting as ever. I do hope they'll translate more of his novels.
A good story with well developed characters and lots of Norwegian atmosphere.
Slow moving but a great ending.
Gloom and doom. I forget how it ended. Maybe I didn't read it all.
Una mañana, es hallado sin vida el cuerpo de Katrine Bratterud, la joven ha sido brutalmente asesinada. La noche anterior, Katrine había asistido a una fiesta organizada por el personal del Jardín de Invierno, un centro de desintoxicación para drogadictos, y se había marchado de allí en un coche conducido por Henning Kramer, un asistente social. Tiempo atrás, la joven había sido interna de dicha institución, pero ya estaba rehabilitada y tenía un empleo. ¿Por qué debía morir? El comisario de policía Gunnastranda y su ayudante Frank Frolich emprenden la laboriosa investigación de las circunstancias que rodean el asesinato de la chica. ¿Reside la clave en el pasado de Katrine como drogadicta? ¿Tiene el crmen alguna show more relación con el personal del centro de desintoxicación? show less
Hoofdinspecteur Gunnarstranda en zijn assistent Frank Frølich onderzoeken de dood van de jonge Katrine die gruwelijk verminkt is gevonden na een personeelsfeest in een afkickcentrum. Hun speurtocht brengen hen in contact met veel mogelijke daders. De onderzoekslijnen komen mooi bij elkaar maar het is nergens superspannend.
