Description

Oslo detectives Gunnarstranda and Frlich are back and this time, its personal

When the body of a woman turns up in a dumpster, scalded and wrapped in plastic, Inspector Frank Frlich is shocked to discover that he knows her and their recent meetings may hold the clue to her murder.

As he ponders the tragic events surrounding her death, Frlichs colleague Gunnarstranda investigates a disturbingly similar cold case involving the murder of a young girl in northern Norway and Frlich is forced to look into his own past to find the answers and the killer before he strikes again.

Dark, brooding and utterly chilling, Faithless is a breathtaking and atmospheric page-turner that marks the return of an internationally renowned and award-winning series, from one of the fathers of Nordic Noir.
