Oslo, 1969: when a wealthy man collapses and dies during a dinner party, Norwegian Police Inspector Kolbj�rn Kristiansen, known as K2, is shaken. For the victim, Magdalon Schelderup, a multimillionaire businessman and former resistance fighter, had contacted him only the day before, fearing for his life. It is soon clear that each of Schelderup's 10 dinner guests is a suspect. The businessman was disliked, even despised, by many of those close to him, and his recently revised will may have set events in motion. With the help of Patricia—a brilliant, acerbic young woman who lives an isolated life at home, in her wheelchair—K2 begins to untangle the lies and deceit within each of the guests' testimonies.

Recensione:

Ingenious . . . A Scandinavian crime novel with a difference. (Laura Wilson Guardian)

The second instalment of a captivating murder mystery series set in 1960s Norway sees Inspector Kolbj�rn Kristiansen seek the advice of Patricia, a brilliant young amateur sleuth confined to a wheelchair, to work out which of 10 dinner guests killed a business tycoon and former resistance fighter during the Second World War. As the inspector tries to untangle the lies and deceit he receives a series of letters warning of further murders. Lahlum keeps the reader guessing until a clever and satisfying conclusion. (Daily Express)

A continually fascinating novel which not only holds true to the spirit of Agatha Christie but also has a 21st century take on themes and subjects that never would have been tackled by the Queen of Crime. (Waterford Today)

Set in Oslo in 1969, Lahum's outstanding second mystery featuring Insp. Kolbj�rn "K2" Kristiansen and Patricia Borchmann pays homage to Agatha Christie . . . The intricate plot, which has its roots in the Nazi occupation of Norway, builds to a shocking conclusion. (Publishers Weekly)
