Anne Holt
In a foster home outside Oslo, a twelve-year-old boy is causing havoc. The institutionâ€™s steely director, Agnes Vestavik, sees something chilling in Olavâ€™s eyes: sheer hatred. When Vestavik is found murdered at her desk, stabbed in the back with an Ikea kitchen knifeâ€”with Olav nowhere to be foundâ€”the case goes to maverick investigator Hanne Wilhelmsen, recently promoted to chief inspector in the Oslo Police.,Could the child be a murderer? As police canvass the city for Olav, Hanne, working alongside the foulmouthed detective Billy T., orders an investigation of the homeâ€™s employees. But despite her supreme deductive skills, she is hopeless at delegating, hopeless at pooling information, hopeless at sharing responsibilities. Can Hanne learn to trust others before her bullheaded instincts lead her astrayâ€”in the workplace and on the home front?
