On January 1, Norway takes its seat on the UN Security Council. Five weeks later Norway’s Ambassador to the United Nations is found dead at his residence in New York.
On Svalbard, Norwegian police make a shocking discovery: the bodies of two Russian special forces soldiers are found outside a controversial radar station. Are the two cases connected?
Ida Vinterdal, leader of the elite special forces unit Group Alpha, is sent to Svalbard to assist the police. She believes they are. And someone is prepared to go to extraordinary lengths to keep the truth hidden.
In White Armada, Ida and Group Alpha kept the Russians at bay. In Blue Storm, they prevented a Russian terrorist attack on Oslo. In Red Star, Ida is about to uncover a truth that could have enormous consequences for Norway – and for the entire High North.
The best thrillers are those that capture all or part of the reality we live in. This is precisely what Ørjan N. Karlsson achieves in his novels featuring Ida Vinterdal, leader of the Norwegian special forces unit Group Alpha.”
