Summary:
"Chief Public Prosecutor Sigurd Halvorsrud's wife is found
dead
in front of the fireplace in the family living room. The cause of death: she has been brutally decapitated. Her husband, who witnessed the grisly murder and is himself covered in blood, immediately falls under suspicion, though he claims his wife's killer was Ste Salvesen, a man he'd prosecuted years before. Detective Inspector
Hanne
Wilhelmsen
is called in to lead the investigation with her old colleague, Billy T. Despite the circumstantial evidence,
Hanne
is unconvinced of Sigurd Halvorsrud's guilt--that is, until a witness says he saw Ste Salvesen commit suicide by jumping off a bridge days before the murder took place. Then a journalist at one of Oslo's largest newspapers is found beheaded. What links these two horrifically violent crimes? The demanding investigation soon clashes with a terrible crisis in
Hanne
's personal life. Cecilie, the woman she has lived with for almost twenty years, has fallen seriously ill and doesn't have much time to live. With a savage killer on the loose,
Hanne
must ask herself: Is the truth worth chasing at all costs?"--From publisher.
