I Will Miss You Tomorrow

Norsk suggestiv thriller med mytiska dimensioner Vintern närmar sig när den tidigare förhörsledaren Thorkild Aske släpps ut från fängelset. Tre år tidigare körde han drogpåverkad ihjäl en kvinna och nu är han en paria bland sina kollegor, en misslyckad polis som inte är bättre än dem han själv brukade förhöra. Aske lider både av skuldkänslor och av skadorna han ådrog sig i bilolyckan. Ändå låter han sig övertalas att bosätta sig på en fyrholm långt upp i norr för att hjälpa till i sökandet efter en ung man. Den lokala polisen har avskrivit försvinnandet som en drunkningsolycka, men modern kan inte komma till ro innan de har hittat kroppen. Det blir Askes uppgift att hitta hennes son, att hämta tillbaka honom från havets vågor. Samtidigt som han brottas med den motvilliga lokalpolisen börjar Aske inse att det är något som inte stämmer. Den vindpinade ön med dess övergivna fyr visar sig gömma fler än en hemlighet. När stormen kommer och frenetiskt piskar upp havet är det inte kvarlevorna av den unge mannen som vågorna för med sig, utan kroppen av en kvinna utan ansikte. Heine Bakkeid har skrivit en suggestiv thriller som smygande kryper in under läsarens skinn. I morgon kommer jag att sakna dig skildrar skickligt såväl farorna i havets djup som farorna som finns i djupet av det mänskliga psyket.

I morgon kommer jag att sakna dig

... und morgen werde ich dich vermissen

Scatter Her Ashes

Wracked by withdrawal and desperate for work, he reluctantly agrees to investigate the disappearance of two schoolgirls for bestselling crime writer Milla Lind, but he soon discovers that Lind's interest in the case is not, as she claims, simply research for her latest novel. When Thorkild discovers that her previous investigator was murdered on the job, no-one will explain why, all he has to go on are files about unrelated cases from all across Norway. Oh, and his ex-wife wants to talk. What could possibly go wrong?
