When It Grows Dark

A letter from the dead could solve Wisting's coldest case.



Stavern 1983: Christmas is approaching and an ambitious young policeman named William Wisting has just

become the father of twins. Edged off a robbery investigation by more experienced officers, he is soon on a less

prestigious case. In a dilapidated barn stands a forgotten, bullet-riddled car. How long has it been there and what

happened to the driver? This is the case that shaped William Wisting as a policeman, with a resolution thirtythree

years in the future ...
