Description

A grisly discovery in the coastal town of Stavern—beginning with a severed foot in a training shoe—pulls Detective Thomas Andreasson into a case that escalates with every body that washes ashore. With Nora Linde, a friend and lawyer, at his side, Andreasson must navigate the uneasy boundary between forensic fact and human interpretation, where motives blur and trust is never guaranteed. As the investigation tightens, the novel probes what communities do with the “dregs” of violence that linger beneath ordinary routines, and how justice can be shaped as much by perception as by evidence. Known for crisp, procedural storytelling and psychologically grounded tension, Jørn Lier Horst delivers a suspenseful, character-driven mystery that keeps the reader questioning what—and who—can truly be believed.
