The Katharina Code by Jørn Lier Horst. 1st UK edition 2018. H/C no jacket. 407 pp.

A Scandi whodunnit that will grip you to the end.

What is the meaning of the numbers, lines and crosses on a piece of paper left behind by a woman who disappeared decades ago without a trace? And how does her disappearance link with the apparent abduction of a teenage girl who angrily left a party? Why was the abduction money never collected? Slowly but surely all these teasing questions are solved as nearly-retired police detective William Wisting and the cold case team follow the crumbs.
