Riassunto

Seventeen years ago William Wisting led the investigation into one of Norway's most widely publicised criminal cases, when the young Cecilia Linde was killed. Now it is discovered that evidence was planted and the wrong man convicted. Wisting is suspended and the media smell blood. William Wisting has spent his life hunting criminals, but now it is he who is hunted. To discover what really happened he must work alone and under cover, assisted only by his journalist daughter Line. Then another young woman disappears.

Recensione:

'Jorn Lier Horst serves up very satisfying crime novels. From crimes committed in a small but idyllic holiday location in Norway, the plot stretches to less privileged parts of Europe. Horst shows great sensitivity in his depiction of dramatic crimes in which the characters' motives emerge clearly. Chief Inspector William Wisting has certainly consolidated his position as one of our classic crime heroes.' --The judges of the Riverton Prize Golden Revolver, won by Jorn Lier Horst for The Hunting Dogs

'The Hunting Dogs has everything you could wish for in this genre: intensity, intrigue of the most exquisite kind, and powerful character depiction, carried off by a writer who propels the action with total conviction.' --Finn Stenstad, Tonsbergs Blad

'Jorn Lier Horst narrates this story using the best devices of the genre, without using any easy ways out. There is a feeling that the book comes with a built-in side-shift mechanism.' --Geir Rakvaag, Dagsavisen

'All lovers of crime fiction should read his new book. It is simply sensationally successful.' --Torbjørn Ekelund, Dagbladet

'Strikes to the very heart of the reader.' --Kjell Einar Øren,Haugesunds Avis

'It's a good thing for us English-speakers that Sandstone Press has put out these translations.' --Sarah Ward, Crimepieces

'There's something fascinating about the reopening of an old investigation. I think it s a mixture of the uneasy dead waiting for final closure but also the fact that these cases can rest heavily on the original detectives.' --Crime Pieces
