Thriller
A promising young singer is found dead in a clearing in a
forest, gruesomely murdered—her larynx cut out, and an
antique music box placed carefully atop her body, playing a
mysterious lullaby that sounds familiar, but that no one can
quite place. Chief Inspector Odd Singsaker, of the Trondheim
Police Department, still recovering from brain surgery, is
called in to investigate. Singsaker, now married to Felicia Stone, the American
detective he met while tracking down a serial killer, fears
the worst when another young girl, also known for her
melodic singing voice, suddenly goes missing while on a walk
with her dog one night. As the Trondheim police follow the
trail of this deadly killer, it becomes clear that both
cases are somehow connected to a centuries-old ballad called
"The Golden Peace," written by a mysterious composer called
Jon Blund, in the seventeenth century. This lullaby promises
the most sound, sweet sleep to the listener—and as time
ticks by, the elusive killer seems as if he will stop at
nothing to get his hands on this perfect lullaby. Jorgen Brekke returns at the top of his game in this nonstop
thrill ride through place—and time.
