Description
A cold case returns to haunt Blix, as a cold-blooded killer taunts him with evidence of further victims, while Ramm investigates a murder with no body... Blockbuster, explosive, No. 1 bestselling Nordic Noir.
'Depressed cops are ten-a-penny in crime fiction but this is an exception, a sensitive portrait of a troubled man combined with a psychologically chilling plot' Sunday Times
`Contemporary Scandinavian fiction at its best? Will Dean
______
Buried sins
Brutal revenge...
Two years ago, Alexander Blix was the lead investigator in a missing person's case where a young mother, Elisabeth Eie, was kidnapped. The case was never solved.
Blix's career in law enforcement is now over, but her kidnapper is back, leaving evidence of Elisabeth's murder in Blix's mailbox, as well as hints that there are other victims.
At the same time, Emma Ramm has been contacted by a teenage girl, whose stepfather has been arrested on suspicion of killing a childhood friend. But there is no body. Nor are there any other suspects...
Blix and Ramm can rely only on each other, and when Blix's fingerprints are found on a child's drawing at a crime scene, the present comes uncomfortably close to the past.
A past where a victim has found their own, shocking form of therapy.
And someone is watching...
Shocking, relentless and unbearably tense, Victim marks the return of the international bestselling, blockbuster Blix & Ramm series from two of Norway's finest crime writers.

Thomas Enger is a former journalist. He made his debut with the crime novel Burned (Skinndod) in 2010, which became an international sensation before publication. Burned is the first in a series of five books about the journalist Henning Juul, which delves into the depths of Oslo's underbelly, skewering the corridors of dirty politics and nailing the fast-moving world of 24-hour news. Rights to the series have been sold to 28 countries to date. In 2013 Enger published his first book for young adults, a dark fantasy thriller called The Evil Legacy, for which he won the U-prize (best book Young Adult). Killer Instinct, another Young Adult suspense novel, was published in Norway in 2017. Rights have been sold to Germany and Iceland. Enger also composes music, and he lives in Oslo.
