Winter Darkness
Anita Berglund
A pregnant woman, Rebekka Tangen, is assaulted and beaten unconscious with a spanner in her own home in Svelvik.
She and her unborn infant are hovering between life and death. At almost the same time, the small town is shaken by a murder in broad daylight. Evidence found on the crime scene links the two incidents to each other, and the police direct their attention towards an Eastern European league of burglars. Didrik Claussen, a police profiler who mainly works in the States, believes the explanation lies elsewhere. The brutality of Rebekka’s assault implies a personal motive. It also turns out that her husband has disappeared – apparently he has run off to Brazil. And now someone attempts to kill Rebekka’s brother-in-law. The Tangen family is surrounded by threatening shadows.
