My World of Wreck

Cornelius Jakhelln

Cornelius Jakhelln’s tenth poetry collection is set in Kristiansand. Or more precisely Cornelius’ Kristiansand, a place and town which slowly slides into memories and at the same time becomes someone else’s Kristiansand. The narrator’s daughter also grows up in Kristiansand, but her town is a different one. With a viewpoint anchored in a distinct and clear point in geography and history, the reader is treated to looking both backwards and forwards. With an open and curious mind, Jakhelln questions what it means to be a human in history, where we come from and where we are going? Or as the subtitle puts it: “Poems migrated from the tree of life”.

Love and Murder

Atle Nielsen

Love and Murder is the title of Atle Nielsen´s second crime novel, with the main character Ole Bull. He is a TV-journalist and have just forced through a controversial news report that might have great implications for a member of the city council and her family. The case takes a dramatic turn a couple of weeks later, as Bull´s boss is shot and killed outside his home. The police, with the aggressive - but skilled - Ingemunn Fenne leading them, understand that the murder is linked to the news case about the allegedly corrupt city council member. Both the police and the press suspect that the killer has more names on the list. Ole Bull travels to London to lay low for a while. It is a city he knows well and also the hometown of photographer Emma Byrnes. Little does he know that one of the traces in the murder case lead right there. It turns into a life-and-death race, both in London and on the west coast of Norway, and the skilled reporter is faced with taking the hardest decision of his life when the people behind the murder in Bergen get closer to their next victim. Love and Murder is a dark thriller about dangerous curiosity and journalistic integrity being put to the test over and over. Where Jørn Lier Horst knows how to write about the everyday life of a policeman, Atle Nielsen does the same with the life of a journalist.

The Night Runner

Karin Fossum

In the dead of night he suddenly stands at the bedside of his victims, wordlessly pointing his gun at them... But who gets to live, and who will die?Fear is running rampant in a small Norwegian town: three people have survived attacks by the burglar known as The Night Runner – but how long until the first victim dies? Inspector Eddie Feber is sure that the mysterious number combinations at the crime scenes provide a clue - will he solve the mystery in time? What Feber doesn't know is that close to him, young Meidel Jonsson also feels that he is suffocating from fear: the day when his father is released from prison is getting closer and closer - and with him evil will return...REVIEWS «A charming detective and a nerve-wrecking crazy killer. This is Fossum-crime of the top shelf!»Dagbladet *****«The Night Runner is yet another insightful crime about those who exist on the outside. A large story in a small format, told by an author who is still at the top in her genre. After 18 published novels that's no small feat!»VG ***** «... entertaining and elegant novel from one of our incisive Norwegian crime writers.»Tønsbergs blad *****«The novel belongs to the top shelf because Karin Fossum is unusually elegant in her writing. She writes simply, varied and poetically. Different environments are described with atmosphere. The sentences can be crystal clear and full of significance at the same time. But most importantly: Karin Fossum doesn't settle for writing about police and robbers. That makes her crime novel something more than crime novels. ... Karin Fossum's language is precise and well written. Thus, a paragraph can say more than thousand words.»Aftenposten«The nuanced and close-up portraits of the criminal mind is something that characterise Fossums writing style, and which lifts her from pure crime to readers with a taste for the literary.»NRK «It is the descriptions and revelations of these combinations and variations in human behaviours that makes Karin Fossum's crime novels such strong reading experiences. She lets us into the dark corners, and shows us people who live on the borderlands.»Dagsavisen
