Description
A florist’s delivery boy brings a gorgeous bouquet to Karin Riis’s door only to find her dead and brutally beaten in her entryway. The police soon narrow their focus to two men: Karin’s ex-husband and her new lover. Both have dubious backgrounds – and both have motives. Unfortunately both also appear to have solid alibis. At first glance, Superintendent Jonfinn Valmann thinks he’s dealing with a classic jealousy murder. But the mystery won’t resolve itself: the more he learns, the more self-contradictory the facts of the case seem to be. And when yet another young woman is found dead, and the two prime suspects feel they’re being threatened and harassed, the confusion becomes complete.
is an intense drama of jealousy in which neither the people nor the events are what they seem to be at the outset. A creepy psychological thriller of the first order.
