Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Set your pulse raising with this novel from Norwegian superstar Jørn Lier Horst.

A severed head on a stake, a body in the lake....

Wisting - now a major BBC 4 TV show.

William Wisting is in a race against time....

When a severed head is found on a stake in the quiet town of Larvik, Police Inspector William Wisting is called in to investigate. The only clue? The killer is trying to send a message.

All roads lead back to the Night Man....

As the media closes in on the biggest story of the year, Wisting's journalist daughter Line receives a tip. Soon, it becomes clear that there is more to this case than anyone thought. A criminal network has lodged itself deep into the roots of the city, and it's up to Wisting to take down the elusive and dangerous Night Man.

This is just the beginning....

But hunting down the Night Man will take everything Wisting has, and it's all too easy for the hunter to become the prey....

Critic reviews

"Up there with the best of the Nordic crime writers." (The Times)

"Horst, a former Norwegian police detective, is often compared to Sweden's Henning Mankell for his moody, sweeping crime dramas." (New York Times)

"One of the most brilliantly understated crime novelists writing today." (Sunday Times)

Story was ok but not the best wisting book.
Reading out every type of gun for about 5 mins just about sent me to sleep.
Narration wasn’t great.

Not his best novel

Saul Reichlin narrating was superb as usual. Not his best novel. My issue was that it had been on tv prior to release of the book with different story lines which I found confusing!

This book could have been very enjoyable! However, the narrator voice is a constant drone ! I couldn’t finish it ! Awful
