This critically acclaimed book is a realistic and captivating thriller with deep insight into a highly topical social issue.
One of the best and most relevant Norwegian crime novels I’ve read in a long time. […] Engaging and gripping story – written in ice cold and controlled language. Bjøranger is a brilliant author who knows the art of building an intrigue.
VG
Frightening, nail-bitingly intense and topical.

A frightening and extremely exciting thriller.
Nettavisen
Terje Bjøranger has delivered a very good thriller. It’s the most political crime novel of the year. That makes it brave. And important.
