Anton Brekke uses his quirky sense of humour to cope with a complex new case as well as the personal issues he faces over the Christmas period.
Desperate to fund the festive season, Bernandas from Lithuania takes a smuggling job for mafia boss Doskin, transporting "goods" into Norway. When he spots a drug detection dog at a border check, he prepares for the worst. Fortunately, he gets away scot-free and continues his journey north. But if it is not drugs, what exactly is the "goods" he is carrying? He discovers the secret of his cargo upon arrival, immediately realising the gravity of his situation and the trouble that lies ahead.
While Pokoj stínů offers a gripping portrayal of brutality, harsh abuse, revenge, friendship and grief, it also boasts a healthy dose of humour.
Reviews for Pokoj stínů
Reading both books in just a few days really paid off, and the large cast of characters did not bother me at all. Sometimes I felt the author was dragging out the plot, but that is his writing style. He wants to wind us up with his perfectly thought-out plot – and he succeeds – while the resolution is unexpected, multi-layered and explained in detail.
review on databazeknih.cz
A high-quality, dark and sometimes gritty thriller featuring the quirky detective Anton Brekke, who enjoys gambling and has a weakness for women. The book is packed with crimes, but the core of the story is the investigation into the initially baffling murder of a retired schoolteacher. Only in the final chapter, entitled Pokoj stínů, do we understand the killer's motives.
