This is now the 3rd volume in the William Wisting series that I've read and I'm enjoying it more and more. The protagonists are so familiar to me that I actually sympathise with them.
In this book, Wisting is suspended, but not because he messed something up years ago, but because he was the person in charge of the case. It was the newspaper, where his daughter Line works, that made this public. Cecilia Linde disappeared 17 years ago. A perpetrator was found, but after his release he claims that he was imprisoned on false pretences, that evidence had been tampered with. After Wisting's suspension, he sets about going through the old files. He receives support from his friend, the former forensic scientist, and from his daughter. The latter was at a crime scene for a report where a man was beaten to death. Over time, it becomes increasingly clear that this death is connected to Wisting's case. It also became clear that the falsified evidence was made by a police officer. Then another young woman disappears. It's a race against time.
It is written in an incredibly exciting way and kept me guessing until the very end who the culprit was.

Chief Inspector William Wisting once again has to deal with many loose ends that he believes somehow belong together. But he still has to convince others of this, which is sometimes difficult as other police departments are involved in solving a drug case with some of his suspects. To make matters worse, his daughter Line is also dragged into the whole mess and, as a father, he fears the worst.
Several summer houses by the sea have been broken into and all the electronic equipment has been stolen. A dead body was found by a neighbour. Instead of being taken to the coroner's office, the body mysteriously disappears. Soon two more dead bodies are found.
Line moves into one of the summer houses because she wants her boyfriend to leave her flat and find something of his own. But this boyfriend is also a business partner of a well-known drug dealer.
Wisting's investigation shuttles between Norway and Lithuania. Every time he senses a breakthrough, a different loose end begins to give him a headache.
The story is written in a very exciting way and only at the very end are all the loose ends tied up.

Ik heb dit boek beluisterd, wat het tempo extra vertraagde. Wat een saai boek! Er is nieuw materiaal in een oude zaak die te maken heeft met een andere oude zaak. Er wordt onderzocht of de verdachte inderdaad de dader is, en het antwoord is uiteindelijk ja. Onderweg zijn er nog wel wat nieuwe interpretaties en nuances. Het gaat in dit boek om de jacht, de opzet daarvan, en eerst en vooral om de verhouding tussen inspecteur en verdachte: zij kennen elkaar al meer dan 20 jaar, zijn “vrienden “en de eerste moet de laatste uit te zien te lokken om te bekennen, uiteindelijk in beide zaken. De spanning tussen die twee mannen vond ik vooral heel langdradig.… (mais)

This is the start of your new Nordic Noir obsession!

Two of Norways best loved crime writers come together to create something extremely special and bring us the unique due that is Blix and Ramm. With a crack hot double team and a hunt for a serial killer that has a flair for the dramatic, this book will have you racing through the pages as fast as the body count increases!

This is the first book of a new series featuring Blix and Ramm, who are now one of my favourite duo’s, and judging from this one it is going to be nothing short of outstanding!

When former athlete, turn novelist, Sonja Nordstrom fails to attend the high-profile launch of her much-anticipated autobiography, Blix finds himself heading up the missing persons investigation, which soon escalates as more high profile people go missing or turn up dead. What started off as a missing person investigation soon turns into the hunt for a serial killer.

Emma Ramm is a celebrity blogger, writing pieces for a online news company so when it comes to her attention that Sonja didn’t show up to her mornings appointments she decides to show up at the celebrities house and it is from there she knows something isn’t right. With signs of a struggle taking place inside the front door of Sonja’s house, Emma phones the police and this is where the unlikely duo meet.

As they are both looking into and covering the same cases they slowly begin to trust each other and it is whilst sharing that a piece of the puzzle falls into place, but now, can they pull together to stop this killer before any more lives are lost and before the killer reaches his finale?

Packed to the brim with some really great, memorable characters, extremely clever plot lines, twists and turns, this is set to be the start of something spectacular!

Crime fiction, police procedurals readers are going to love this book and even if you have not been a fan of foreign crime fiction before, I urge you to give this one ago – you won’t be disappointed, it is one of my favourite books so far this year.
