THE DARKENING

Karin Fossum

A married couple check into a hotel with their 15-month-old son. The next morning, the boy falls from the sixth-floor balcony and dies instantly. His parents' explanations differ substantially. Both of them have something to hide. Who has the right to have a child? How could a child die in such a way? This time, Konrad Sejer knows it is extremely important to find out the truth. The Darkening is a masterful crime novel and a dangerous marital drama.'Karin Fossum is a crime writer like no other. She takes more interest in the people than the crime itself. That makes her more exciting to follow than any other Norwegian crime writer. In this book Karin Fossum once more shows us how masterful she is.'STAVANGER AFTENBLAD 6/6'Karin Fossum once again shows herself a magnificent writer, with a strong ability of trying to understand life. And death.'DAGBLADET'It is word against word in this case, and very special crime novel. Really, Karin Fossum is the most foremost of Norwegian crime writers.' ADRESSEAVISEN

Soccer without Borders

Peder Inge Knutsen Samdal

In Football Without Borders, the author expands geographically to cover the entire world of football, but he also dives into history, culture and religion. Why was it so important for South Korean Heung-min Son to score the penalty at the 2016 Olympics? Why did Cristiano Ronaldo get involved in the refugee crisis? What makes a Norwegian football coach want to undertake the job as the national team coach for the world's most closed-off country? What happens when US national team player Megan Rapinoe refuses to stand up during the performance of the American national anthem? And how big of a religion is soccer really? Samdal's curiosity about understanding the world through football truly rubs off on the reader. Informative and interesting, Samdal manages to touch on several major issues such as war, refugees, politics and love – using on the basis of his love for football. Peder Samdal has previously written the book Mario Balotelli Explains Europe.
