When an old schoolfriend whisks private detective Asbj rn Krag away by train to an isolated snow-covered manor house, his curiosity is aroused.
John Aakerholm, a wealthy landowner with peculiar tastes, refuses to disclose why he is utterly terrified. Every evening at midnight he retires to bed, locking himself within three different chambers - and access is strictly forbidden. When a shocking murder takes place, Krag must use his sharp wit and skills to uncover the killer before he strikes again....
A brilliantly ingenious story, Through Three Rooms amply displays Elvestad's gift for storytelling and style. Available in English for the very first time, this book will delight fans of vintage crime fiction. This new translation features an introduction by Nils Nordberg, radio drama producer and Norwegian authority on crime fiction.
A brisk, pacey and thoroughly entertaining page-turner by one of crime fiction's unsung heroes...well worth rediscovering. - Tom Mead, author of Death and the Conjuror
An enjoyable example of the traditional murder mystery.- Martin Edwards, novelist and author of The Life of Crime
