Summary
Jorn Lier Horst, Jan-Erik Fjell: The Scream
One disappearance.
One verdict.
One question: was the verdict wrong?
Fagernes, a quiet town in the west of Norway, has never forgotten the disappearance of seven-year-old Lee Forsberg. Although her father was convicted of murder, the body was never found and suspicions never subsided. Fifteen years later, Markus Heger, a former police officer and now the host of a popular true-crime podcast, decides to reopen the case, just as a mysterious woman makes a claim that could change everything.
At the same time, young journalist Matilda Wald investigates a story that has shaken the entire community, but she only encounters silence, fear and clues that lead to the dark past of Fagernes. The deeper he investigates, the clearer it becomes that someone has decided to cover up the truth. When Matilda also disappears, Marcus is the only person who can solve the case.
The Scream is a tense thriller by two masters of Scandinavian crime fiction. A novel that reveals the price of the truth - and the courage needed to speak it.
