A FROZEN BODY. A MURDERED BIKER. A LAWYER WITH NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.
In the depths of the Norwegian winter, a woman’s frozen corpse is discovered in the garden of a notorious ex-lawyer, Vilhelm Thygesen. She has been stabbed to death.
A young biker, a member of a gang once represented by the lawyer, is found dead in suspicious circumstances.
Thygesen starts receiving anonymous threats, and becomes ensnared in a web of violence, crime and blackmail that spreads across Northern Europe.
Does the frozen woman hold the key?

For readers who miss Steig Larsson’s particular brand of Nordic Noir, this may be their answer. The story centers around retired defense attorney Vilhlem Thygesen, a man who is not popular with the local police. When he finds the body of a woman who has been stabbed to death in his frozen winter garden, the police believe she was trafficking drugs, but after a man from a biker gang that Thygesen once defended is killed in a suspicious accident, the cops want to find a link between the attorney, the frozen woman and the dead biker. This is a story that left me feeling breathless, Michelet is a master

Good story! Looking forward to reading more by this author. Highly recommend!

I really liked Jon's way of telling a story. He made it seem real and his characters were very life like. Vilhelm Thygesen is a former cop and lawyer that was disbarred living off his inherited property discovers a frozen woman on his property. Stribolt and Vagge are the inspectors from Kripos that are the ones interrogating Thygesen. Stribolt wants to arrest him while Vagge, who comes on nasty but isn't, doesn't.
They have a hard time identifying the body of the woman until they put a sketch of her in the paper. This get several balls rolling. It involves a biker group, an artist who likes taking pictures of people on the train, and an oil mogul being blackmailed. More people are killed as a result of this woman's death. Finally people look at the picture in the paper and realize who she's is.
This seems more realistic than some of the other police procedures that I've read. The characters seem to act mote like real live people in my book. I highly recommend this book.
