      Ronja, su hermana mayor Melissa y su padre viven en Tøyen, un barrio obrero de Oslo. No tienen mucho, pero se tienen el uno al otro. Con la llegada de la Navidad, Ronja desea tener su propio árbol de Navidad. Sin embargo, su padre, que bebe demasiado, ha perdido su trabajo nuevamente. Con la ayuda de un amigo, el conserje, Ronja le consigue un nuevo empleo en el mercado de árboles de Navidad. Todo parece mejorar: su padre se mantiene sobrio, hay comida decente y quizás incluso regalos. Pero cuando vuelve a beber, su trabajo y el ingreso familiar están nuevamente en peligro. Melissa no ve otra salida que trabajar en el mercado de árboles. Ronja apoya a su hermana en esta dura labor, con un jefe estricto y un clima helado. Pero también hay tres hombres sabios, una estrella y un bosque mágico... Ingvild H. Rishøi ha creado un conmovedor y original libro navideño, narrado desde la perspectiva de la joven Ronja: un cuento para nuestros tiempos.

      When one of Oslo’s hottest celebrity chefs is murdered, Hanne Wilhelmsen is called back into action in “a nearly pitch-perfect procedural layered over a moving exploration of rejection and abandonment” (Booklist) in the sixth installment of the award-winning series from Norway’s #1 bestselling female crime writer. On a cold December evening, celebrity chef Brede Ziegler is discovered stabbed to death on the steps of Oslo’s police headquarters, sending a shock wave through the city’s hip in-crowd. Chef Ziegler had many famous associates and more than a few enemies among them. Was his murder a random act of violence or did someone want him dead? Police investigator Billy T. is stymied by conflicting information about the kind of man Ziegler was. It seems nobody really knew him: not his glamorous wife, his business partner, nor the editor of his memoir-in-progress. The case is hopeless until Hanne Wilhelmsen returns to Oslo after a six-month stay in Italy and teams up with Billy T. Working together, they are pulled deep into the nefarious world inhabited by Ziegler. Was he at all the chef he claimed to be? And can those who knew him be trusted? In the fabulous No Echo, “transcripts of witness statements alternate with Anne Holt’s penetrating psychological analysis of human desires, weaknesses, and essential decency, unveiling unexpected dimensions of her series characters” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
