The SKAM books are the original scripts of the worldwide hit web drama series of the same name, just as they were written.

Each SKAM book contains one of the four seasons that aired between 2015 and 2017. The scripts have never recorded scenes, lines that were later cut, newly written prologues and epilogues, and Julie Andem’s own comments and unique mind maps.

SKAM Season 2: Noora follows Noora Amalie Sætre, the iconic young woman first introduced to viewers and readers in SKAM Season 1: Eva. As in Eva’s season, friendship and love are key issues in Noora’s story and her volatile relationship with William, a third-year student, is a recurring motif. But Noora’s season also deals with bigger issues like feminism, eating disorders, self-image, sexual violence and the contemporaneous refugee crisis in relation to Norwegian democracy.

The SKAM books are the ultimate key to the universe that absorbed an entire generation of viewers. Get ready to get to know Eva, Noora, Isak and Sana like never before.

Frobenius’ novels have been translated into numerous languages and he has since his international literary breakthrough in 1996 received countless international awards. Among Frobenius’ works you’ll find such iconic titles as the classic thriller Insomnia, which Christopher Nolan later turned into a major Hollywood movie starring Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank.

Frobenius is now back on the literary scene with the novel Notes from Congo. It’s a riveting depiction of a country in crisis and a story based on true events that stuns and disconcerts as it explores the fragile nature of truth in system, and human, breakdowns.

When parliament member and Labor Party veteran Bernhard Clausen suddenly dies in a heart attack, William Wisting is hastily called to the Director of Public Prosecutions’ office. The police has discovered something in Clausen’s cabin that doesn’t match his image as a wholesome and driven politician. The nation’s interests might have been put at risk and the case has to be handled with utter discretion, out of sight of the press and the people.

Wisting, a select few from the police force, and Wisting’s daughter Line are recruited to the secret investigation unit. They soon find that secrets had less to do with politics, and all the more to do with crime. Among else the missing persons case of a young man who disappeared during a fishing trip to Gjersjøen lake in 2003, not long after which a letter had appeared on the Director of Public Prosecutions’ doorstep. The letter had implied Clausen’s involvement in the case, but the accusation had been waved off.

In a twist of fate, the Gjersjøen case has now appeared on Cold Case investigator Adrian Stiller’s desk. Wisting reluctantly faces the facts: he’ll need his former partner Stiller’s help in order to uncover Bernhard Clausen’s innermost secrets.
