Ugress Weeds

Henning Juul #6

When 19-year old Sunniva Linje is found dead beneath the ice near her family’s winter cabin, the police quickly determine her death an accident. But Sunniva’s mother Ada refuses to accept that explanation. Ada’s suspicions are quickly directed towards the neighbors in the cabin next door, the Hellevik family and the guest they hosted that weekend – media tycoon Martin Raa.

Then Raa goes missing without a trace and just a week later Gabriel Hellevik, Raa’s business partner, commits suicide. When Aftonposten-journalist Nora Klemetsen receives an anonymous tip accusing Raa of murder, she is also drawn into the case – until she herself mysteriously collapses from a suspected overdose.

Former journalist Henning Juul has lived a quiet life in Copenhagen for many years. But when he hears what has happened to Nora, the great love of his life, he returns to Oslo. Could Nora have unearthed a truth that someone desperately has tried to bury?

Weeds is an intense triller about what injustice and loss can make people do – and about the past, which never really goes away.

Reviews

  • “A wonderful reunion with the crime hero. Thomas Enger has in the last couple of years enjoyed great success in writing duo-projects, but he is at his very best on his own. /…/ The playful language complements the great intrigue. (…) A crime novel that will excite many this summer. All of these will, just like the undersigned, be hoping for new sequel novels.”
