Jørn Lier Horst Books in Order

On the day a star runner's tell-all memoir is launched, she disappears, leaving only an empty Oslo apartment and a race bib pinned to the TV. Detective Alexander Blix and blogger Emma Ramm join forces to stop a killer who turns murder into public spectacle.

During Oslo's New Year's Eve fireworks, a powerful explosion rips through the harbor crowd, throwing detective Alexander Blix and reporter Emma Ramm into chaos. Among the wounded is the mother of a toddler kidnapped a decade earlier, drawing them back into a cold case that never stopped haunting Blix.

When police investigator Sofia Kovic is executed in her apartment and Alexander Blix's daughter barely survives the same attack, Blix is pushed beyond the rules he has always lived by. Days later he and journalist Emma Ramm sit in an interrogation room, forced to relive each step of a case that may have cost them everything.
