Overview Sneen var ren

DI Engly Martinsen works against the clock to solve his biggest case yet. Lawyer and Nazi Party member Jens Otto Helmersen has been found shot dead at his cabin, but the snow around it is untouched. Who is the murderer and how did they manage to commit this crime without leaving so much as a footprint behind them?

In this locked-room mystery from 1942 Oslo, Hans Olav Lahlum interweaves a historical crime mystery with the destinies of a troubled and politically divided family in occupied Norway.

Reviews Sneen var ren

"Premisset med en hederlig politimann som forsøker å manøvrere i et landskap av nazister og medløpere, er sterkt, og burde love godt for fortsettelsen."

Ola Hegdal, NRK

«Lovende start på ny krimserie fra andre verdenskrig.»

«Forfatteren bruker tid for å få påplass rammene, tidskoloritten og stemningen fra krigsårene, og det lykkes han godt med.»
