Booklist Reviews 2018 April #1
One case bedevils Oslo Police Superintendent Kjell Bonsaksen at the end of his career: the conviction of Jonas Abrahamsen for the murder of Jonas' wife, Anna, in 2004, two years after the tragic accidental death of their three-year-old daughter. So Bonsaksen takes the file of what he considers a case of miscarried justice to Detective Henrik Holme, protégé of legendary detective Hanne Wilhelmsen, now a special adviser on cold cases. While Holme, a celebrity after his work on terrorist bombings in 2014, sees indications of Abrahamsen's innocence, Wilhelmsen is keen to look instead into the recent suicide of deplored right-winger Iselin Havørn, which she believes was more likely a murder despite evidence to the contrary. As the two detectives pursue their respective assignments, the cases link in a surprising fashion. In this tenth and final book in the Hanne Wilhelmsen series, Wilhelmsen is as intuitive, and prickly, as ever, as Holt explores further the relationship between Wilhelmsen and Holme. For fans of Jo Nesbø, who has noted Holt's primacy in Norwegian crime fiction, and of the genre in general. Copyright 2018 Booklist Reviews.
