large-scale gang war, or have the dead fallen victims to ethnic cleansing? The police are short on time – they have to find the killers before they strike again.
This is Knut Lindh's second novel about police inspector Ulf Larsen and TV reporter Vibeke Holt. It received wonderful reviews:
"Everything is in place in this book. Reading Lindh is both a pleasure and a thrill. From page one to the end, the story is cleverly and efficiently told - and with clippings disposing of unneeded parts and keeping up the suspense all the way ... The result is a successful novel in every possible sense.

Dead Man Rises
Why would anyone kill an old man who is soon to die anyway? This is the question police inspector Ulf Larsen has to answer when a stroke-ridden patient is found dead in his hospital bed.
The investigation takes the police far away and long back in time - to World War II and the Norwegian resistance movement.
Dead Man Rises is Knut Lindh's first book about police inspector Ulf Larsen and TV reporter Vibeke Holt. Lindh was awarded the "Fresh Blood" prize 2009 for this novel. The prize is awarded annually for the best Norwegian murder mystery debut.
Writers and critics gave Lindh an enthusiastic welcome as a crime novelist after his debut:
"Intensely exciting, well written and ingeniously constructed about the shadows of the past ... a most readable thriller with a breathtaking climax."
