It happened in the quiet town of Larvik.

A severed head displayed on a stake. A crime so dark only one man can solve it: Police Inspector William Wisting.

Soon more bodies are found. Media frenzy panics the locals. And when Wisting's investigation leads him to a deadly underground crime ring, he fears the whole town may be in danger.

But at the heart of it is just one man: The Night Man.

The man Wisting must find if he wants to stop the murders.

That is, if The Night Man doesn't get to him first . . .
It's fascinating to see Horst flesh out his protagonist Wisting at an early stage in his career . . . Nor is it hard to see why the series quickly became so popular
