Liv falleció con seis años. Se adentró en el mar durante la noche y hallaron la barca hecha añicos a la mañana siguiente. O, al menos, ésa es la historia que sus padres contaron a las autoridades. La realidad es bastante distinta: Liv está viva y se esconde tras una pared impenetrable de objetos robados de aquí y allá que Jens, su padre, ha ido acumulando a lo largo de los años. Una fortaleza de la que, al traspasar su puerta, es imposible escapar ileso. Aquí, lejos del resto de los habitantes de la isla, la vida de la familia fluye de manera imperturbable, cristalizada hasta la eternidad como una hormiga atrapada en resina. Sólo Maria, la madre de Liv, puede cambiar el rumbo de las cosas dentro de la peculiar familia Hordone. Pero ella también, a su manera, ha decidido esconderse del resto del mundo dentro de un cuerpo monstruoso.

They were near the edge of the glacier. The sea beneath the helicopter was dense with pack ice. In front of them, the endless whiteness stretched as far as the light could reach. It hurt his eyes. Millions of white crystals. Except in one place. One spot. Right where the mummified Norseman had been found and Aqqalu had kept watch. There, the ice was glossy red. When a mummified Viking corpse is discovered in a crevasse out on the edge of an ice sheet, journalist Matthew Cave is sent to cover the story. The next day the mummy is gone, and the body of the policeman who was keeping watch is found naked and flayed—exactly like the victims in a gruesome series of murders that terrified the remote town of Nuuk in the 1970s. As Matt investigates, he is shocked by the deprivation and brutal violence the locals take for granted. Unable to trust the police, he begins to suspect a cover-up. It’s only when he meets a young Inuit woman, Tupaarnaq, convicted of killing her parents and two small sisters, that Matt starts to realise how deep this story goes—and how much danger he is in.

The author of the internationally best-selling Harry Hole series now gives us an electrifying stand-alone novel set amid Oslo's hierarchy of corruption, from which one very unusual young man is about to propel himself into a mission of brutal revenge. Sonny Lofthus, in his early thirties, has been in prison for the last dozen years: serving time for crimes he didn't commit. In exchange, he gets an uninterrupted supply of heroin—and the unexpected stream of fellow prisoners seeking out his uncanny abilities to soothe and absolve. His addiction started when his father committed suicide rather than be exposed as a corrupt cop, and now Sonny is the center of a vortex of corruption: prison staff, police, lawyers, a desperate priest—all of them focused on keeping him stoned and jailed, and all of them under the thumb of Oslo's crime overlord, the Twin. When Sonny learns some long-hidden truths about his father he makes a brilliant escape, and begins hunting down the people responsible for the hideous crimes he's paid for. But he's also being hunted, by the Twin, the cops, and the only person who knows the ultimate truth that Sonny is seeking. The question is, what will he do when they've cornered him?

In 1848 a motley crew of Danish sailors sets sail from the small island town of Marstal to fight the Germans. Spanning four generations, two world wars and a hundred years, We, The Drowned is an epic tale of adventure, ruthlessness and passion.

Detective Søren Marhauge investigates a series of murders at the Natural Science Institute in Copenhagen. The victims were all engaged in the debate over whether birds are descendants of dinosaurs or if both evolved concurrently.

Het is 1989, de Muur valt en de wereld is voorgoed veranderd. Arvid probeert in zijn bestaan krampachtig een nieuw houvast te vinden, een gevoel van geborgenheid, maar hij beseft dat hij de tijd door zijn vingers heeft laten glippen en dat het misschien wel te laat is... Deze roman gaat over het zoeken naar een thuis, de wens je naasten te vertellen hoeveel je van ze houdt, en over de poging de persoon te worden die je wilt zijn. Een schitterend verhaal, prachtig verstild beschreven met zeer herkenbare thema’s, zoals de eenzaamheid in intieme relaties, de sterfelijkheid van ouders en het gevoel dat je leven je ontglipt. Een boek dat je raakt tot op het bot. Een boek ook met veel (zwarte) humor, zoals in de beschrijving van Arvids moeder, die als kettingrookster altijd bang was om longkanker te krijgen en zich boos maakt dat het uiteindelijk maagkanker is geworden.
