Night Frost

An elderly married couple are found dead in their home, Skogly Villa. On the surface, this appears to be just a family tragedy within one of the most well-to-do families in Hamar.Chief Inspector Jonfinn Valmann’s girlfriend, Anita Hegg is in charge of the investigation, but with a rising sense of unease she realises that in the past, Valmann has had close contact with the family. He is neither willing to talk about this relationship or why it came to such an abrupt end. Meanwhile Valmann is investigating the macabre discovery of a corpse in the neighbouring community; the corpse has lain there all winter and the police are finding it difficult to establish its identity. Reluctantly, Valmann has to conclude that the evidence points in the direction of the deaths in Skogly Villa.
