Sister by Kjell Ola Dahl (translated by Don Bartlett)

Today is my stop on the blog tour for Sister, the fab new book from Kjell Ola Dahl and I'm delighted to have a giveaway for you - find out more below. Huge thanks to Anne Cater at Random Things Tours for the invitation and to the author and publisher for w the prize. 

The Blurb:

Oslo detective Frølich searches for the mysterious sister of a young female asylum seeker, but when people start to die, everything points to an old case and a series of events that someone will do anything to hide...

Suspended from duty, Detective Frølich is working as a private investigator, when his girlfriend's colleague asks for his help with a female asylum seeker, who the authorities are about to deport. She claims to have a sister in Norway, and fears that returning to her home country will mean instant death.

Frølich quickly discovers the whereabouts of the young woman's sister, but things become increasingly complex when she denies having a sibling, and Frølich is threatened off the case by the police. As the body count rises, it becomes clear that the answers lie in an old investigation, and the mysterious sister, who is now on the run...

A dark, chilling and up-to-the-minute Nordic Noir thriller, Sister is also a tense and well-plotted murder mystery with a moving tragedy at its heart, cementing Kjell Ola Dahl as one of the greatest crime writers of our generation.

Sister was published by Orenda Books as an eBook on 29th February 2020 and will be released in paperback on 30th April 202. It is available to buy or pre-order (depending on format) from the publisher, Amazon, Waterstones and Hive. It's also worth checking if your usual independent bookshop offers an order service. Many do, and they could do with our support just now (and always).
