A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It is a cold, dark, windy night in Oslo and Igi Heitmann pores over the debris in her dead father's office, trying to piece together the last days of his life as a failed private eye. She discovers a curious butterfly medallion in his desk - which in turn leads to the discovery of a young woman in a snow-drift, two bullets in her head and a gun in her hand. Igi's father and the young woman died within hours of each other - is the same person responsible for both their deaths?

Igi soon finds herself in the role of detective, on a trail that leads to the city's underworld of corruption, sadism and child abuse. Caught amongst the shards of a dozen shattered lives, she must tread carefully if she is to reconstruct the violent and tragic truth, and not be killed in the process.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Igi Heitmann is grieving for her father - a washed up private eye killed in a hit and run accident - when she stumbles upon a butterfly medallion, incongruous amidst the detritus scattered on her father's desk. This discovery leads to another, altogether more gruesome but seemingly linked: a young woman lying dead in the snow with bullet wounds in her head and a gun in her hand. Drawn on by a swelling determination to piece together the final moments of her father's life, Igi finds herself descending ever deeper into the realms of criminality and corruption, all in the pursuit of the increasingly mystifying truth.
