Secrets and lies abound in small town Norway, big city Athens and a near-future central European dystopia. Three renowned writers bring us the twists, turns and treacheries of an autocracy under surveillance, a ‘washed-up writer and philosopher of Athens night-life’-turned sleuth, and then there’s P.I. Wisting, the only person small town Larvik can trust to track down the mysterious Night Man.
