After the hurricane

Ingvar Ambjørnsen

Pelle and Prof are on Easter vacation on a farm in the woods, with thoughts of quiet days spent outdoors or in front of the fire place. However, even before they get to the farm their car is almost pushed off the road by a truck. Then a storm arrives, and a small plane crash lands next to the cabin. It soon becomes obvious that several myserious and suspicious episodes are connected, and as Pelle goes for help he runs into a thinly clothed girl from Sri Lanka all by herself out in the storm. She claims to have been smuggled into the country. It's clear to the "detectives" that a new mystery has landed in their laps, and that the vacation has to wait ...

The Girl in the Wall

Lena Lindahl

A Jewish-Norwegian girl, Betzy Rosenberg, managed to hide from the German and Norwegian Nazis in Trondheim from the fall of 1942, when the deportations began, all the way until the war ended in May of 1945. She survived right in front of the enemies' noses thanks to a fellow human being who risked his life to hide her. In the cabin next door, the Nazis were having parties, and Henry Rinnan himself – the leader of the infamous Rinnan Gang – could show up unannounced. Adolescence lost and the rest of her family deported to the concentration camp Auschwitz, this is Betzy's story. Impressive about "the Norwegian Anne Frank"‘The Girl in the Wall is grim reading. At it´s best, the book breathes life into historyand remind us that not to long ago people, not unlike us self, where defined asunwanted and sent to destruction based on their religion and cultural heritage.’NRK Gripping story‘Lindahl is thorough and talented with great insight into topics like Hitler’scoming to power, The Crystal night, the start of the war, Norwegian Nazis,concentration camps and the fall of Germany.’DAGBLADET ‘An almost unbeleivable story about how a young Norwegian woman, BetzyRosenberg, was hidden from sight from the fall of 1942 and all the way up tothe liberation day in 1945.’VG

The Dead Can See You

Alexander Løken

How is it to be young in a society where no secrets are safe and where everyone is monitoring everyone - even the dead? Sixteen year old Liv Wiik has a dark secret. She is a Necromancer, and can call out the dead. Everest Brox has made his fortune by stealing the secrets of others. The more he knows, the more powerful he becomes. Now he wants to use Livs abilities to reach new hights.But LIv is terminally ill. She only has six months left to live. And soon she will learn that there are things worse than dying..."I will tell you about my first life, as short and sad as it was", Onyro started to say without facing Liv. "And then I will tell you about how I died, and the new life that followed. That is a much more interesting story." Alexander Løken takes the reader on an intense and original journey a few years into the future, but in an entirely different reality. Where no one can sleep safely and where nothing can be kept secret any longer…Norwegian Fantasy hit! With a steady hand, Løken keeps the reader captivated, breathing life into almost lost motives within the fantasy genre. In addition, the writer has steered clear of the many times stereotype descriptions based on gender. Liv Wiik is strong, heroic, reflected and not least intelligent. In The Dead Can See You, the situations Liv finds herself in are complex and hard to find the way out of. That makes the story more unpredictable and sustains the nerve in the novel from start to end. The Dead Can See You hits the audience right on. Bravo! VÅRT LAND
