The Katharina Code

Politietterforsker Alexander Blix sliter fortsatt med ettervirkningene av en gisselsituasjon 19 år tidligere, der han skjøt og drepte faren til fem år gamle Emma. Nå møter han Emma på ny, og omstendigheten tvinger dem til å samarbeide. Emma er 24 år og kjendisblogger. Da den tidligere tidligere langdistansedronningen Sonja Nordstrøm ikke dukker opp til lanseringen av sin omstridte selvbiografi, oppsøker hun Nordstrøm hjemme. Der finner hun huset ulåst, og med tydelige spor etter et basketak. Et startnummer med et 1-tall er festet til TV-skjermen. Nordstrøm selv er sporløst forsvunnet. Dette er første gang Jørn Lier Horst og Thomas Enger har slått seg sammen om å skrive en kriminalroman. Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.

Police officer Alexander Blix and celebrity blogger Emma Ramm join forces to track down a serial killer with a thirst for attention and high-profile murders, in the first episode of a gripping new Nordic Noir series... ‘Grim, gory and filled with plenty of dark twists ... There’s definitely a Scandinavian chill in the air with this fascinating read that loses none of its terror and fun in translation’ Sun ‘An exercise in literary tag-teaming from two of Norway’s biggest crime writers with a bold new take on the serial-killer-as-twisted-artist ... the start of a series with potential’ Sunday Times –––––––––––––––––––––––– Oslo, 2018. Former long-distance runner Sonja Nordstrøm never shows at the launch of her controversial autobiography, Always Number One. When celebrity blogger Emma Ramm visits Nordstrøm’s home later that day, she finds the door unlocked and signs of a struggle inside. A bib with the number ‘one’ has been pinned to the TV. Police officer Alexander Blix is appointed to head up the missing-persons investigation, but he still bears the emotional scars of a hostage situation nineteen years earlier, when he killed the father of a five-year-old girl. Traces of Nordstrøm soon show up at different locations, but the appearance of the clues appear to be carefully calculated ... evidence of a bigger picture that he’s just not seeing... Blix and Ramm soon join forces, determined to find and stop a merciless killer with a flare for the dramatic, and thirst for attention. Trouble is, he’s just got his first taste of it... –––––––––––––––––––––––– ‘This tale often surprises or shifts in subtle ways that are pleasing and avoid cliché. As the opener for a new series this is a cracker, long live the marriage of Horst and Enger’ New Books Magazine ‘Death Deserved is a fast-moving, punchy, serial killer investigative novel with a whammy of an ending. If this is the first in the Blix and Ramm series, then here’s to many more!’ LoveReading ‘A stunningly excellent collaboration from Thomas Enger and Jorn Lier Horst .... It’s a brutal tale of fame, murder, and reality TV that gets the pulse racing’ Russel McLean ‘Now — what happens when you put two of the most distinguished writers of Nordic noir in tandem?

"Together with her one year old daughter Maja, single mother Sofie Lund moves into the house she inherited from her grandfather. Sofie has such painful memories that she has had every trace of the old man removed, every trace but a locked safe that has been bolted to the basement floor.

Det er nyttårsaften. Alexander Blix er på vakt og til stede da en bombe går av i menneskemengden på Rådhuskaia. I kaoset som oppstår, redder han en bevisstløs og sterkt brannskadd kvinne opp fra sjøen. Blix kjenner igjen navnet hennes fra en gammel forsvinningssak. Saken om datteren hennes. Vesle Patricia ble kidnappet fra barnevognen hun lå i. Men ti år senere, mens hele Oslo er satt i terrorberedskap, får hennes drapsdømte far tilsendt et bilde av en skolejente. Han er overbevist om at det er Patricia. Nyhetsbloggeren Emma Ramm er sterkt personlig berørt av bombeattentatet, og hun takler det på den eneste måten hun kan – med gravejournalistikk. Igjen føres Blix og Ramm sammen i jakten på sannheten. Blix går egne veier i etterforskningen, men Emma følger like i hælene på ham. RØYKTEPPE er en roman om skjebnesvangre veivalg, og om hva desperasjon kan føre til når nettet av løgner først begynner å rakne.

Røykteppe

William Wisting er tilbake, i høstens mest spennende krimbok fra Jørn Lier Horst. Etter dager og uker med uvanlig mye regn gir jordmassene i et boligområde i Larvik etter. I alt ti hus blir tatt av skredet. Wisting havner midt i redningsarbeidet. Gjennom natten blir alle beboere gjort rede for, og det blir klart at ulykken ikke har krevd menneskeliv. Neste dag blir det likevel funnet en død mann i rasmassene. Nærmere undersøkelser viser at han døde minst 48 timer før raset gikk. Etterforskningen griper inn i flere andre pågående politioperasjoner, og Wisting blir satt til å lede en felles etterforskningsgruppe. Men snart blir det klart at det sitter minst én forræder rundt etterforskerbordet. De prisvinnende bøkene om politietterforsker William Wisting er blant Norges mest populære krimserier gjennom tidene, og de er nå trykket i over 2,5 millioner eksemplarer. I tillegg er bokserien utgitt på over 30 språk, og det er også laget TV-serie basert på den.
