Book Synopsis

BENEATH THE LANDSLIDE LIES A MURDER: DETECTIVE WISTING'S MOST DANGEROUS CASE YET


''Characters, plot, execution, pacing, conclusion...all quality. And it kept me guessing all the way through'' 5***** reader review

--

In heavy rain, a landslide sweeps away a group of homes in Larvik, Norway. At first everyone is accounted for.

But then, during the clear up, a body is found one with a gunshot wound inflicted before the landslip.

Detective William Wisting must first find out who it is and where the body came from. He soon wishes he hadn't. The victim is Swedish: a police infiltrator working a major crime.

Suddenly, the stakes couldn't be higher or more dangerous.

Because, in a game of deception, who can Wisting ever trust?
