If someone says “Norwegian whodunit”, you answer: Jo Nesbo. And you are right. However, behind the colossal success of the father of Harry Hole hides, and it is a mistake – with 10 million copies sold and a TV series broadcast here on Polar -, Jorn Lier Horst. Its recurring hero, William Wisting, investigates the Larvik area, south of Oslo, and looks like a normal cop compared to the unstable Harry Hole. A normal cop, for unusual business. Like here a serial killer who vanishes in full reconstitution in the woods. Under the birches, we tremble: the daughter of Wisting, journalist with the scoop fishing, is there, somewhere, with the killer. The suite smells of chlorine, but we won’t tell you why. Just that Horst is a late-life cop-turned-writer. It marks a man. He remained solitary and addicted to the procedure, but broke the rules by welcoming us to Norway, at the scene of the crime. This novel and the six previous ones can be read at Gallimard.

Evil in person, by Jorn Lier Horst. Translated from Norwegian by Céline Romand-Monnier (Gallimard, “Série Noire”, 416 p., €20).
