Hour of the Wolf
A fourteen-year-old girl is found hanging in the woods. It soon becomes clear that she has been taking part in an online game spreading among the city’s youth – a game in which the final challenge is to take your own life.
As an untested lead investigator, superintendent Gabriel Fjell faces a terrifying scenario: He has to find whoever is behind the game and, more importantly, prevent more young people from taking their own lives. But when there’s no perpetrator, how can he stop them?
And how can he stop the young when they are intent on hurting themselves?

Reviews:
«Despite my high expectations of Geir Tangen’s new crime novel, I found myself blown away.»
«A cracking, well-written crime novel that proved one hell of a start to a new year of reading!»
«This book was so hard to put down, and I read it in record time. If you like quivering tension interspersed with some tough descriptions, you should definitely read this!»
«The author writes with a steady pen. The story is easy to read, without too much ‘irrelevant chit-chat’. This is a new genre for Tangen, and I think he really hits the mark. An excellent book that I recommend without hesitation – but not for the faint of heart!»
«Tangen has chosen to explore an important subject in this thriller. A topic that remains taboo, despite the fact that waves of suicides sometimes take place at various places around the country.»
«Geir Tangen has written a crime thriller with respect for the inappropriateness of dealing with such a serious subject as young people's displeasure for entertainment. When it is possible to get safely to port, it probably depends on someone degree together with the investigators being kept on a tight leash and not allowed to shine. Thus remains the focal point of the investigation, the suffering, at the center. But that doesn't stop Tangen from stacking one quality plots on the legs.»
