Julebord - (World Prose) by David ØYbo (Paperback)

About the Book

"Should chief investigator James Wiley Redding of the Norwegian Police suspect that any of the doctors working in the small rural hospital of Godshus, located where a fjord meets the North Sea, might be linked to the gruesome discovery made on a December morning after their annual Julebord (holiday party)? Much more whodunit than a diversified nordic noir novel, JULEBORD is laced with what life is like to work in a small rural hospital, where things and humans occasionally get dirty. Not merely a piece of - at times - a bit upmarket crime fiction, the story brings to the realization that in today's small global village we are linked to each other in some way - whether we want to be or not and cannot hide from the events that affect us all."--

Review Quotes

A multilayered cast headlines this gleefully unorthodox and absorbing crime story.
