The Riverton police are investigating a series of mysterious thefts, but during their search they accidentally overlook some important leads. Chief of them that all the houses that have been broken into have been marked in advance!

Detective Agency No. 2 is on the case! Not only do Tiril, Oliver and Ocho have to find out who’s behind the burglaries, they have to capture the thieves before they skip town.

Jørn Lier Horst & Hans Jørgen Sandnes’ Detective Agency No. 2 series is crime fiction for the youngest – clever, engaging, and full of thrills! Join our heroes Tiril, Oliver and their dog Ocho as they solve mysteries that have even the adults of Riverton scratching their heads.

Operation Red Ribbon is the eighteenth installment in the Detective Agency No. 2 series.

William Wisting has entered the second week of his summer holiday. He observes from the sidelines how a local missing persons case grows into a national news story. Agnete Roll has now been missing for three days, and no clues can be found.

Even as the disappearance makes headlines, Wisting receives a mysterious letter containing a set of numbers and nothing else. He connects them to an old case code for a murder, one he wasn’t personally assigned to. One summer night in 1999, 17-year-old Tone Vaterland was killed on her way home from work. The case was quickly solved and the perpetrator sentenced and sent to prison. The case has nearly been lost to memory, but recent events now reveal connections that weren’t visible twenty years ago.

The letter is only the first in a series, all pointing to there being another truth behind the case then the one found by the police. Wisting will have to search for the sender as well as the true facts – but far from everyone are happy to have him shed new light on the past.

A Question of Guilt is the fourth and final installment in Jørn Lier Horst’s Cold Case Quartet.
