\u201cInto Thin Air<\/strong><\/em>\u201d marks the beginning of a new Nordic Noir police procedural series. The police team of four work in the Joint Unit for Intelligence, Prevention and Investigation out of Bod\u00f8 in Northern Norway. They are:<\/p>\n

Jakob Weber<\/strong> \u2013 a police detective in his forties who has recently lost his wife to cancer. It has only been six months since her death and his grief is still raw. He lives alone with his Jack Russell Terrier named Garm. Then, an unknown, long-lost family member makes an appearance at his door.<\/p>\n

Noora Yun Sande<\/strong> \u2013 The newest member of the team, has just moved to Bod\u00f8 from Oslo. She is staying with an old friend while she searches for an apartment of her own. The reason she left her old life behind has to do with an unhealthy relationship that she is distancing herself from.<\/p>\n

Armann Femris<\/strong> \u2013 father of a teenaged girl and a diligent, tenacious, and experienced investigator. He is a fan of rock music and sports a Mot\u00f6rhead tattoo.<\/p>\n

Josefine Skog<\/strong> \u2013 is in a same sex relationship and is the mother of a young girl. \u2018Fine\u2019 is a policewoman who is struggling with her work\/life balance.<\/p>\n

\"photo The team are tasked with a missing persons investigation. A nineteen year old girl, Iselin Hanssen failed to return from her daily run. Iselin had just been accepted into the police college. This case has alarming similarities to previous cases where young woman have disappeared\u2026 Then a celebrity social media influencer disappears in eerily similar circumstances.<\/p>\n

Told from various viewpoints, the story is a compelling crime thriller. We meet Pedar, a man who has physical disabilities who lives with his elderly mother. Pedar is the neighbour of Simon Michalsen, a man the reader comes to know as a person who commits atrocious crimes against women\u2026<\/p>\n

Modern policing in any country has its drawbacks. One of which is having members of the public use social media which might interfere with ongoing investigations. Jakob and his team face just such a challenge. In addition, they have members of the press putting pressure on them for updates in what is turning out to be very challenging investigations.<\/p>\n

Anyone who enjoys reading crime thrillers that are dark and often disturbing will enjoy this book and this prospective series. With themes of crimes again women and serial murder, the writing is absorbing and the characters intriguing. Dark, atmospheric Nordic Noir. Recommended.<\/p>\n
