Frost and Ashes (Frost og Aske)

Inger Wolf

 

Eight year-old Lukas is found strangled with a fishing line in a small stream, in a suburb of Århus, right in the middle of a snowstorm. It looks like a sexual crime, but something does not fit into the picture as Lukas apparently has been in contact with fire.

Vice Superintendent Daniel Trokic leads the investigation, but questions are mounting up. The police cannot find the place where Lukas was burnt. The parents are hiding something, but what? Who is the person captured on CCTV with Lukas the day, he disappeared? And what is the connection to a boy who drowned in the same stream 34 years ago?

Along with IT-specialist Lisa Kornelius vice Superintendent Daniel Trokic slowly opens the door to the darkness and finds a story holding much more evil than he first thought.

Reviews

"Inger Wolf has written a solid criminal novel which I definitely would put in the category ”books you just can’t put down”. It’s just to throw yourself into it and shut off the rest of the world."

Moss-avis

 

"Exciting and very trustworthy – off and on, the only thing you want to think of ... It is about the sins of a father, who wears off down throught the gengerations."
