Jørgen Jæger is on a roll! With recent sales to North Macedonia and Sweden, books from his Ole Vik series have now been sold to 7 countries – over 30 rights in total.
Set in the picturesque remote town of Fjellberghavn, the highly respected police chief Ole Vik and his adept detective Cecilie Hopen are constantly dragged into investigations riddled with social dilemmas, which Jørgen Jæger eloquently incorporates. Through his addictive prose, he makes you want to know everything about Fjellberghavn and its inhabitants.
The first book in the series, CHASING SHADOWS, just sold to Ikona in North Macedonia – the sixth country for this book.
Sweden’s Lind & Co. snapped up Jørgen’s most recent hit, THE VERDICT. They have already published five other books in the series.
Congratulations, Jørgen!
The upcoming series The Fortress (Festning Norge) won the award for best script at the most prestigious international series festival Series Mania in France. The series is based on an idea and script developed by John Kåre Raake and Linn-Jeanethe Kyed, and was the only Norwegian series on the programme.
With more than 20 years in the business, his track record includes feature films and drama series spanning a wide range of genres for both adults and children.
