From the author of "1222", this introduces the Johanne Vik series. Holt is a Norwegian bestseller, and 5 million of her books have sold worldwide. The Vik series features terrifying situations, remote settings, and intelligent plotting. Holt is a former Minster of Justice, so she knows her material well. 'Holt is Scandinavia's answer to Val McDermid, writing dark and unsettling crime with more than a little wire in its blood.' "Evening Standard"
