Overview Sparknekt

After Fredric Drum has given a lecture in London on some strange symbols from an unknown culture, these symbols start appearing on several murder victims across the country. There appears to be no motive or pattern to the killings. Skarphedin Olsen is back at Kripos as an investigator, following his time away in Røros, and this case offers him a difficult challenge upon his return. What do these symbols mean, and who is behind these murders?

The Jack of Spades is Gert Nygårdshaug’s 14th book in the series featuring Fredric Drum and Skarphedin Olsen. The Drum series belongs to the classic crime fiction tradition, where the mystery is gradually unravelled. Each novel can be read as a standalone.
