Terje Bjøranger

Nazdar Gulli’s family discovers that studying law isn’t all she’s doing at university. She’s also seeing Julio. Soon after this revelation, Nazdar ends up in hospital as an obvious victim of honour-based violence. Police investigator Charlie Robertsen tries to get Nazdar to report her brothers and father for violence and attempted murder. But Nazdar drops the charges, scared of the consequences they could have for both her family and for herself. The investigation is put on ice, but Charlie can’t let the case go. He knows that Nazdar is in danger of being sent out of the country and disappearing, like so many other women who are victims of honour crimes. Can he help her in time?

At the same time, a young man calling himself Azad hides with a Kurdish single mother and her daughter in Sweden. Mother and daughter are brutally shot and killed by a criminal gang. Azad wants to avenge them, no matter the cost. Even if it costs him his secret identity.
