A SEVERED HEAD ON A STAKE. A BODY IN THE LAKE . . . THE PULSE-RAISING NEW WISTING NOVEL FROM 10 MILLION COPY BESTSELLER JORN LIER HORST, NOW A MAJOR BBC 4 TV SHOW

'Up there with the best of the Nordic crime writers' THE TIMES

A SUNDAY TIMES CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH
_________

It happened in the quiet town of Larvik.

A severed head displayed on a stake. A crime so dark only one man is capable of solving it: Police Inspector William Wisting.

Before long, more bodies are found. Media frenzy sweeps the locals into panic. And when Wisting's investigation leads him to a deadly underground crime ring, he fears the whole town may be in danger.

But at the heart of it is just one man: The Night Man.

Their elusive leader. The man Wisting must find if he wants to stop the murders.

That is, if The Night Man doesn't get to him first . . .
