Buried sins
Brutal revenge...
Two years ago, Alexander Blix was the lead investigator in a missing person's case where a young mother, Elisabeth Eie, was kidnapped. The case was never solved.
Blix's career in law enforcement is now over, but her kidnapper is back, leaving evidence of Elisabeth's murder in Blix's mailbox, as well as hints that there are other victims.
At the same time, Emma Ramm has been contacted by a teenage girl, whose stepfather has been arrested on suspicion of killing a childhood friend. But there is no body. Nor are there any other suspects...
Blix and Ramm can rely only on each other, and when Blix's fingerprints are found on a child's drawing at a crime scene, the present comes uncomfortably close to the past.
A past where a victim has found their own, shocking form of therapy.
And someone is watching...
Shocking, relentless and unbearably tense, Victim marks the return of the international bestselling, blockbuster Blix & Ramm series from two of Norway's finest crime writers.

Review Quotes
"Depressed cops are ten-a-penny in crime fiction but this is an exception, a sensitive portrait of a troubled man combined with a psychologically chilling plot."--Sunday Times "There's a real sense of claustrophobia and fear at play here as well ... there are genuine gasp moments as the perpetrator taunts Blix with clues to his own childhood and past ... Victim shows that the writing partnership is one of the strongest in Norwegian literature at the moment." --Nordic Watchlist
