The Action

Rune Nøstvik

A highly relevant political thriller that draws on its author’s experiences as a UN soldier.
Price: 379,-

2010, in the vicinity of Oslo: Three American security guards are found executed on a forest road close to Gardermoen airport. The police security service establishes a crisis team, and CIA and Mossad immediately offer their services. And their deceit. In the middle of all this, someone tries to kill the demobilized UN soldier Thor Lydersen in his apartment. Lydersen disappears from the face of Earth and OK’s The Action – a secret, once military network that tracks down wanted war criminals.

"Exciting, sober, realistic and without any bla-bla."
Frank Zuber, German reader and translator

Praise
“High suspense – …a tight and efficient writing style and a successful debut for a new thriller writer.”
VG/Oslo

”It’s an impressive story that Nøstvik is serving, and his background knowledge is comprehensive and taken from his own experience.”
Bergens Tidende
