THE PULSE-RAISING NEW WISTING NOVEL FROM 10 MILLION COPY BESTSELLER JØRN LIER HORST, NOW A MAJOR BBC 4 TV SHOW

'Up there with the best of the Nordic crime writers' THE TIMES
'One of the most brilliantly understated crime novelists writing today' SUNDAY TIMES

A BODY IN THE LAKE. A HEAD ON A STAKE . . .
_________

Gruesome happenings in the quiet town of Larvik. Only one man is capable of solving them: Chief Inspector William Wisting.

Before long, more bodies are found. Media frenzy sweeps the locals into panic. And when Wisting's investigation leads him to a deadly underground crime ring, he fears the whole town may be in danger.

But at the heart of it is the gang's elusive leader: The Night Man.

Who Wisting must find if he wants to stop the murders.

That is, if The Night Man doesn't get to him first . . .

Praise for Jørn Lier Horst

It's fascinating to see Horst flesh out his protagonist Wisting at an early stage in his career . . . Nor is it hard to see why the series quickly became so popular - Sunday Times

Tense, fast-paced . . . compelling - Sunday Times

Relentlessly exciting . . . creates a sense of real menace - The Times

Jørn Lier Horst writes some of the best Scandinavian crime fiction available. His books are superbly plotted and addictive, the characters wonderfully realised - Yrsa Sigurðardóttir

One of the very best novels that [Lier Horst] has ever written . . . Thrilling. Jørn Lier Horst elevates his and Wisting's universe to a whole other level - Nettavisen, Norway
