Description
At 5 o’clock in the morning, the sound from the whistle on the M/F Utne echoes between the mountains in Hardanger. Norseman Xtreme, the world’s toughest and decidedly coldest triathlon competition, is underway. Local police officer Bengt Alvsaker is one of 250 nervous athletes who jump into the dark, ice-cold fjord. But when he and the other swimmers scramble ashore in Eidfjord and heave themselves onto their bikes, a figure with starting number 22 remains lying in the water, lifeless.
Bengt Alvsaker and his team are faced with their most complicated case to date. The hunt for a murderer in the small local community will throw up a lot of dirt and reveal old and painful secrets. The idyllic Hardanger villages will never be the same again.
