If you're one of he countless who relishes mysteries and enjoys puzzles
you're in for a seldom found pleasure with The Fifth Element by noted
Nordic writer Jorgen Brekke. .This author has created a sensation not only in his own country but throughout the world with his vaunted tales
featuring Police Inspector Odd Singsaker (Where Monsters Dwell,
Dreamless). Now, Brekke raises the bar with a frightening story filled
with horrors - drugs, exortion, spousal abuse.
What may be initially confusing to some all comes together as the tale
unfolds. Brekke seems to have a limitless imagination that not only
thoroughly entertains readers but challenges them at the same time. Set
against a starkly presented Scandinavian background The Fifth Element is a
true treat not only for Nordic crime fans but for crime fans throughout
the world.
Police Inspector Singsaker has been captured, held behind bars on an
island off the northern coast of Norway. He rouses himself, confused
to find he is holding a shotgun and there is a corpse next to him. But
what or who brought him to this? How did he get here?
A short while earlier his wife, Felicia, had disappeared. Unbeknown to
him she had tried to find her way back to him but had become lost in a
snowstorm. While Odd continues to search for his wife other lives
intersect with his - there is a corrupt cop from Oslo, a dishonest
college student who has stolen mega amounts of cocaine, and a hit man
hired by the drug dealers who have been robbed. As if this were not
enough horrible crimes come to light and terrifying characters who have
nothing to lose emerge.
Brekke has delivered another winner that readers will be unable to put down
Enjoy!
