Jørgen Jæger’s new book The Judas Fix went straight into the second place at the Bestseller list. His books sell incredible well – last year he sold 130 000 books in Norway.
Jørgen Jæger has a solid fanbase in Norway – and is one of top three Norwegian crime writers. He has moved to another publisher; Capitana Forlag, one of the imprints of the new publishing group Strawberry. They have launched a huge campaign for his new book, and the results are really good so far, he even got his own car as you may see in the picture.
A truck is being highjacked on a road near Fjellberghavn, and the driver is murdered. At the same time a desperate father turns to the police to get help with his drug addicted daughter.

Police Chief Cecilie Hopen simultaneously suspects information are being leaked from the investigation. Is there a Judas in their own ranks?
The book was just reviewed in Bergen Arbeiderblad, they gave the book 5 out of 6 stars and said: “Excitement from the first page. You may safely bring Jørgen Jæger’s last book with you on your summer vacation.”
