Når havet stilner

Når havet stilner A Silent Sea

William Wisting #3

An off-season Stavern, empty of people and shrouded in fog. An unconscious man is found on the stairs of the small town’s drug store. He’s been shot in the stomach, and it’s clear someone wanted him found. Not long after the man is found, the police discover the charred remains of human bones at a burnt out ruin nearby, and on the beach, a waterlogged body washes ashore. William Wisting suspects that this time, he’ll be dealing with a case of entirely new dimensions.
