Oscar Fiva has spent eight years in prison for the murder of his friend Henrik Zahl. He has always claimed he was innocent, and the body was never found. But when Zahl’s body suddenly reappears, the case explodes into a full-blown investigative scandal. Because what the police discover is the body of a recently murdered man.

Anton Brekke is ordered to take on the case. At the same time, a French hitman arrives in Norway, carrying out a mission on behalf of a dead man. Anton finds himself up against forces far greater than he realizes. And somewhere, another murder is already being planned.

This is Jan-Erik Fjell’s fourth novel featuring Anton Brekke.
