Avenger

The third installment in the Anton Brekke series |

Following a police raid on an illegal poker club, Anton Brekke, an elite investigator from Kripos and one of the players, is demoted to the Fredrikstad police department. There, he teams up again with his former partner Magnus Torp. While on patrol together, they are the first to arrive at a murder scene.

The investigation quickly gathers pace when it becomes clear they are dealing with a serial killer.

San Francisco, 1961. Seventeen-year-old Norwegian-born Daniel Larsen, alias Danny, arrives at Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary to serve a life sentence for armed robbery and the attempted murder of a police officer. Thirty-three years later, a young Norwegian couple visits Alcatraz. There they meet an American named William, who tells them the story of their compatriot he met inside.

Is there a connection between the murders in Norway and the 50-year-old story about Danny? Anton immediately seizes the case and the chance to get back to Kripos.
