You loved Wallander, now meet Wisting . . .

___________
Katharina went missing twenty-four years ago.
Each year on the anniversary of her disappearance Chief Inspector William Wisting visits her husband, the man he could never help.
He re-reads her files, searching for the answer he could never find.
The code he could never solve.
Until now.
This year is going to be different.
Another woman is missing.
And so is Katharina's husband.
Wisting has to find him, but is he rescuing a dear friend, or playing a deadly game?
Set between the icy streets and dark forests of Norway, The Katharina Code is a heart-stopping story of one man's obsession with his coldest case. Atmospheric, gripping and suspenseful; this is Nordic Noir at its very best.
