The Fjellberghavn series is a huge success! Jæger has so far written 16 books, and sold more than 1.7 million books. The series is so far sold to eight countries, 65 titles.
The TV series first season has been sold to all Nordic broadcasters and to ARD in Germany, with more territories to follow. In the lead role: Kristofer Hivju, internationally known from Game of Thrones (as Tormund Giantsbane).
Set in the picturesque rural town of Fjellberghavn, the highly respected police chief Ole Vik and his adept detective Cecilie Hopen are constantly being dragged into investigations riddled with social dilemmas. Through his addictive prose, Jørgen Jæger makes you want to know everything about Fjellberghavn and its inhabitants. Ole and Cecilie form an unlikely pair that represent “two worlds”; they are the analog versus the digital. Young versus old. City versus country. We also get to know Fjellberghavn’s population, and follow the joys and sorrows of everyday life in Fjellberghavn – as well as the criminal activities that occur in this little place.
The second season is already in the making, and Jørgen is also writing his next book, planned for publication Autumn 2027.
