About the Book

**Shortlisted for the Glass Key Award**
**Shortlisted for the Martin Beck Award**
**Winner of the Brage Literary Award**

'A masterclass in plotting, atmosphere and character that finely balances shocking twists with the coppers' complicated personal lives' The Times

'Dahl has an international reputation for skilfully plotted police procedurals that are drenched in the minutiae of detection. This is a fine example of his talent, featuring two of his most famous detectives ... If you have never sampled Dahl, now is the time to try' Daily Mail

'Skilfully orchestrated tension' Barry Forshaw, Independent

____________________

When the body of a woman turns up in a dumpster, scalded and wrapped in plastic, Inspector Frank Frølich is shocked to discover that he knows her ... and their recent meetings may hold the clue to her murder.

As he begins to learn more about the tragic events surrounding her death, Frølich's colleague Gunnarstranda deals with a disturbingly similar cold case involving the murder of a young girl in northern Norway. An unsettling number of coincidences emerge, and Frølich is forced to look into his own past to find the answers ... and to catch the killer before he strikes again.

Dark, brooding and utterly chilling, Faithless is a breath-taking and atmospheric page-turner that marks the return of an internationally renowned and award-winning series, from one of the fathers of Nordic Noir.

'A formidable talent' Booklist

'Superb ... utterly convincing' Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
