Chief Inspector Konrad Sejer has been called out to a very brutal
murder. The following day on his way in to work, a bank he has just
passed is robbed. The robber got away with a hostage. Since Sejer is a
witness, Jacob Skarre is tasked with investigating the murder.
A young man who was incarcerated in an asylum has escaped. He was seen
in the vicinity of the murder, and then recognised by a policeman who
knows him as the hostage. When Sejer meets with the director of the
asylum, she fiercely defends the man who has escaped, stating that there
is no way he would have killed.
Author Karin Fossum's thriller isn't so much about the police's search
for the killer, and bank robber, but rather more about the minds of the
latter, which is a very different twist on a murder mystery thriller. A
good read.
