Varg Veum - The Consorts of Death
A Nordic noir detective mystery built on procedural skepticism and moral ambiguity, where the obvious suspect may not be guilty and truth remains elusive.
Varg Veum investigates the murder of a married couple; prime suspect is the stepson, but Veum does not think he is guilty. Not even when he confesses.
