A murder inside a military camp. A country on the verge of political rupture. And a new forensic method that could change criminal investigation forever.
The year is 1903. When Captain Gausereide is found dead at the Stormoen military camp, Chief Constable Johan Ryer is called in to investigate discreetly. Eager to prove the potential of the revolutionary new science of fingerprinting, Johan travels there with his sister Sonja to solve the mystery.
But while Johan investigates inside the military camp, Sonja pursues her own leads in the surrounding village. Soon, the murder becomes entangled with another disturbing event—one that draws Sonja back towards the secrets of her own dark past.
At Ease is the second novel in the Ryer series: an atmospheric historical mystery filled with period detail, intrigue and unexpected twists.
A classic murder mystery in a historical setting – with vivid characters, gentle humor, and that quiet sense of dread only a remote Norwegian fjord village can hold.
