Eystein Hanssen – Jaget

Chased

Chased (Jaget)
The body of an unidentified man surfaces in Oslo’s financial district. The case is homicide detective Elli’s first as a new mother.
With the migration from Syria as a background, the thriller Jaget portrays how war, escape and xenophobia push people to their utmost limits. When Elli reveals a ruthless game of politics, treason and terror, she realises her own familiy is also under threat.

PRESS CLIPPINGS

"Eystein Hanssen shows that crime can still be socially critical (...) Hanssen sparkles in the police scenes and shines when it comes to the dialogues (...) he continues the social realist genre that Sjöwall and Wahlöö established." VG (dice roll 5)

"Great intelligence thriller" Dagbladet

"It is solidly researched and detail-focused, it draws much of its raw material from the theatres of war in the Middle East and the associated danger of Islamist terror, and it allows the reader to be a fly on the wall in the heavy investigative units of the police and intelligence services." Aftenposten
