The Oslo Detectives are back in another chilling slice of Nordic
Noir ... Frolich searches for the mysterious sister of a young
female asylum seeker, but when people start to die, everything
points to an old case and a series of events that someone will do
anything to hide... 'Impossible to put down' Guardian 'Absorbing,
heart-rending and perfectly plotted' Denzil Meyrick 'A masterclass
in plotting, atmosphere and character that finely balances shocking
twists with the coppers' complicated personal lives' Sunday Times
------------------------------ Suspended from duty, Detective
Frolich is working as a private investigator, when his girlfriend's
colleague asks for his help with a female asylum seeker, who the
authorities are about to deport. She claims to have a sister in
Norway, and fears that returning to her home country will mean
instant death. Frolich quickly discovers the whereabouts of the
young woman's sister, but things become increasingly complex when
she denies having a sibling, and Frolich is threatened off the case
by the police. As the body count rises, it becomes clear that the
answers lie in an old investigation, and the mysterious sister, who
is now on the run... A dark, chilling and up-to-the-minute Nordic
Noir thriller, Sister is also a tense and well-plotted murder
mystery with a moving tragedy at its heart, cementing Kjell Ola
Dahl as one of the greatest crime writers of our generation.
------------------------------'Kjell Ola Dahl's novels are superb'
William Ryan 'Suspenseful, beautifully and clearly written, with a
sure-footed plot, this is a book that thrills' Live & Deadly
'Dark, stylish and suspenseful ... the perfect example of why
Nordic Noir has become such a popular genre' Readers Digest 'If you
have never sampled Dahl, now is the time to try' Daily Mail 'A
triumph of skill, invention and edge-of-the-seat storytelling. As
always, not to be missed!' Denzil Meyrick 'Dahl is a quiet master
of the detective thriller, delivering complex plots and a simpatico
hero - Frank Frolich, cop turned PI - with Chandleresque elan plus
a serious intelligence that roots out essential truths. Here,
Frolich is pulled into the "shadowlands" of Norway's asylum seekers
and those who profit from them, in an impeccably plotted gold-star,
A-grade work of Scandi noir' The Times Crime Club 'The Norwegian
writer Kjell Ola Dahl deserves attention ... Kjell Ola Dahl has
always been skilful at character and setting, but the particular
defining characteristic of Sister is the steadily accelerating
pace, handled with a sure touch. And Frolich remains a rounded and
intriguing character, particularly in this latest iteration' Barry
Forshaw, European Literature Network 'Early in Dahl's outstanding
seventh ensemble procedural (after 2018's The Ice Swimmer), failing
Oslo PI Frank Frolich, who still misses the police job he left in
disgrace, meets with Aisha, a teenage refugee from Turkey with some
sort of serious psychological illness. Aisha hopes Frank will help
her find her missing sister, Sheyma, who moved to Norway in 2005
and became a hotel worker ... Through Fredrik, Frank becomes
entangled in a possible insurance fraud case involving the ferry
fire. A murder raises the ante. Both cases stall, making the
world-weary Frank feel as if he's a pawn in a much larger and more
sinister game. This is a must for fans of Nordic noir' Publishers
