    About this ebook

    THE SEVENTH INSTALMENT IN THE HANNE WILHELMSEN SERIES.

    A wealthy Oslo family is murdered and the surviving family members are all acting guilty, because they all have something to hide. How will Hanne Wilhelmsen get to the truth in an endless web of deceit?

    Four people are found shot dead at the luxury home of the Stahlbergs, one of Oslo's wealthiest dynasties and notorious for highly publicised infighting. Three of the dead are members of the family and the fourth victim is a seeming nobody. With so many years of bad blood, it's hard to narrow down a shortlist of suspects. Hanne Wilhelmsen is drafted in to untangle the family's complex, bitter history and find the killer.

    Working with her longtime police partner Billy T., the pair unearth numerous motives for the murders; each surviving member of the Stahlberg family had good reason to want the victims dead. But as Hanne digs deeper she comes to believe there is a bigger secret concealed by the lies. As she draws closer to the truth, Hanne will once again risk everything for justice.

      Beyond The Truth – The Queen of Scandi Noir ReturnsBeyond The Truth is the latest in Anne Holt’s Hanne Wilhelmsen Series and it is plain to see why even Jo Nesbo considers her to the Godmother of Norwegian crime. Anne Holt shows how dark things can get in Scandinavian Noir and it is easy to see why she is the bestselling female crime writer.The off-beat Chief Inspector Hanne Wilhelmsen and her friend and deputy Billy T are summoned to a murder of four people a couple of days before Christmas. Four dead bodies, a dog that has feasted on a body, three of the four are a wealthy family and the other is a writer and editor. With no seeming connections between the writer and the wealthy family, things are as clear as mud to the team.There seems so much evidence a conviction should be straight forward according to the Head of CID and the case will be closed by New Year and they can all go back to the festivities. With so much bad blood in the family to narrow down a shortlist is not an easy task. As Hanne Wilhelmsen digs deeper in to the case her colleagues become more exasperated by her odd behaviour and not sharing information with them.Hanne Wilhelmsen is convinced that there is something bigger that is being concealed by the lies of the family, and that the police are being distracted by those lies. As Hanne untangles a very bitter and complex family history, she will risk everything to uncover the truth and more importantly find the killer.Anne Holt knows how to draw a reader in to her style of police procedural thriller, she uses a clever blend of the off-beat, interspersed with some social commentary. Even though the book has a complex and at times perplexing narrative, the reader is hooked, because you need Hanne to find the truth, whatever it may be.A stunning thriller, Beyond The Truth shows why Anne Holt is a thriller writer of the highest order.
