Pahan varjot

Hanne Wilhelmsen #3 & 5

by Anne Holt

Särmikäs rikoskomisario Hanne Wilhelmsen on lukijoiden suosikki ja Holtin seitsemän dekkarin päähenkilö. Wilhelmsen vartioi yksityisyyttään tarkasti eikä paljasta ajatuksiaan aina edes lähimmilleen, mutta poliisina hän ei epäröi pistää itseään likoon.

Pahan varjot sisältää kaksi Hanne Wilhelmsen -dekkaria: Paholaisen kuolema ja Kuollut jokeri. Lastenkodin johtajattaren murha saa lapset ja työntekijät pois tolaltaan, ja Norjan valtionsyyttäjän vaimo löytyy kotoaan kaula samuraimiekalla katkaistuna. Rikoskomisario joutuu pistämään kaikkensa peliin, mutta riittääkö se?
