Face to Face

It turns out that Veum’s silent guest has on his own initiative started to dig up information about a mysterious death on the north-western coast fourteen years earlier. A woman he knew well took her own life by walking out into the sea, but teacher Erlend Ekerhovd is not convinced that it is simply a case of suicide. Did his suspicion cost him his life? The threads lead back to a radical student collective in Bergen in the 1970s, where they both lived. What is it about this death that has to be kept in the dark and why is it so dangerous if someone starts to snoop around? These questions take on new significance for Varg Veum as he starts to close in on the heart of the mystery, bit by bit, in his own inimitable way.
