A tram is hijacked in downtown Oslo. For the hostages and the police, a breathless nightmare awaits. With the police in pursuit, the tram drives around the city on a scorching hot July afternoon.
No one knows what is happening behind the covered windows. In this intensely thrilling story, we follow the hijackers, the hostages, the police, the politicians, and the media — minute by minute, heartbeat by heartbeat. There were ten of them. Ten random people, pulled away from their everyday lives and reluctantly given lead roles in a drama that would soon be followed by millions of TV viewers worldwide. The hostages. The ten who risked dying if the hijackers didn’t get their demands.
… Egeland shows that he belongs to the top tier of Norwegian thriller writers.
