There was a dead man sitting in my waiting room.
So begins another unsettling case for Bergen private detective, Varg Veum.
The identity of the dead man soon becomes clear. He had come to see Veum about a case of his own, one rooted in a death on the M re coast fourteen years earlier. A woman walked into the sea and never returned. The verdict was suicide, but not everyone believed it.
As Veum follows the trail his silent visitor left behind, the investigation leads back to a radical student collective in Bergen in the 1970s, where political loyalties, personal rivalries and old decisions still cast long shadows. Someone has gone to great lengths to keep that past concealed, and the price of digging too deep has already proved fatal.
Tense, atmospheric and uncompromising, Face to Face is Gunnar Staalesen at his very, very best.
