Description
They’re an odd couple, the young estate lawyer Oda Krogh and her aging assistant, Reidar Simonsen. Both of them have been ditched by their significant other, and their joint investigative practice is a not entirely successful attempt to get back on their feet again.
Then a dying woman arrives at the door with one last wish. Against their better instincts, they take on the assignment: to find the woman’s son, who is said to have drowned five years earlier. The only thing Oda and Reidar have to go on are four shells someone has sent the doomed mother.
As they dig into the past, they discover more suspicious deaths. They also see disturbing indications that the pharmaceutical industry has blood on its hands. The search for the truth quickly attracts the attention of individuals who only become more dangerous the more the pandemic spreads – and soon it is Oda and Børre who are being hunted down.

Praise
She’s finally back. [...] Berglund is one of the few women writing crime fiction in Norway, and is without doubt an uncommon talent. I was elated to learn that the author was making a return with a new crime story ten years after the last one. [...] A long-awaited comeback.
Simen Ingemundsen, Randaberg 24Where have you been all my life, Ingrid Berglund?
Mariann Sæter Tokle (Book blogger)I’m totally engrossed in The Black Swan. WHAT A BOOK! There’s something about the language and atmosphere that captivates me [...] The author writes so well that the characters seem to step out from the pages of the book!
Liv Gade (Book inspirator)‘A very good, original story that captivates from the first word. You’ve got to read this.
