Overview Hund uten grav

In this gripping thriller by Torkil Damhaug, the reader is pulled into a world where violence and revenge looms, but also where compassion and reconciliation are possible.

Gina Witt, a feminist and TV-celebrity, is admired and hated for her current affairs show on TV. One of her episodes is about sexual assault, where the accusor and the accused parttake. Shortly after the episode, the infamous host is found murdered in her sister’s house.

The formerly famous lawyer Fred Rivers finds out that it was his daughter Silje who returned home to find her aunt Gina murdered. The murder also has creepy similarities with the case Rivers himself was convicted for, 12 years earlier. He can’t let go of the thought that Silje could also be in danger.

Winner of the Norwegian Riverton Prize for Crime in 2022.
