Monopoly
By Helle Stensbak
Description
The evening after a concert for an enthusiastic full house at Rockefeller, the vocalist Sally Hov is brutally knifed to death close to Tøyenbadet swimming baths. The hunt for her killer is led by Chief Inspector Rigmor Stark and her colleagues, and it takes them to shady sides of Oslo’s music scene, where some people are clearly willing to go far to acquire power and status for themselves. Rigmor is a PhD drop-out who uses mathematics and economic analyses as a method of investigation. She is spontaneous, unorthodox and a little too prone to take foolhardy risks. But most of all she is someone who thinks. Round the clock. And her methods give results: her investigations take her on from the music scene to organised crime and something that looks like corruption within the police’s own ranks. But the closer Rigmor gets to a solution, the more obvious it becomes that someone is following her every step very closely.
The book has been illustrated with photographs by May-Irene Aasen.
