The first book in Edgar-nominated Anne Holt’s international bestselling mystery series featuring detective Hanne Wilhelmsen, last seen in 1222. A small-time drug dealer is found battered to death on the outskirts of the Norwegian capital, Oslo. A young Dutchman, walking aimlessly in central Oslo covered in blood, is taken into custody but refuses to talk. When he is informed that the woman who discovered the body, Karen Borg, is a lawyer, he demands her as his defender, although her specialty is civil, not criminal, law. A couple of days later another lawyer is found shot to death. Soon police officers Håkon Sand and Hanne Wilhelmsen establish a link between the two killings. They also find a coded message hidden in the murdered lawyer’s apartment. Their maverick colleague in the drugs squad, Billy T., reports that a recent rumor in the drug underworld involves drug-dealing lawyers. Now the reason why the young Dutchman insisted on having Karen Borg as a defender slowly dawns on them: since she was the one to find and report the body, she is the only Oslo lawyer that cannot be implicated in the crime. As the officers investigate, they uncover a massive network of corruption leading to the highest levels of government. As their lives are threatened, Hanne and her colleagues must find the killer and, in the process, bring the lies and deception out into the open.

The most significant writings of practitioners, professors and advocates to make sense of what is perhaps America's most astonishing and shameful achievement: the highest per capita incarceration of its citizens anywhere in the world, compounded by the shockingly disproportionate imprisonment of poor ethnic minorities. Although there is growing awareness of the huge fiscal cost of mass incarceration, the moral, human and social devastation of racially skewed law enforcement remains largely unrecognised.

Excerpt from The Blind Goddess: Being a Tale of to-Day, Showing Some of the Undercurrents of a Big City When Judson Brownell walked down Broadway in company with his beautiful daughter on a certain October morning, he kept unconscious step with destiny. The unseen hand of unyielding fate regu lated their movements to a nicety and brought them face to face with Sanford Crane at the only point their paths crossed, in front of the Rector Street Arcade. In looking back to the small beginning out of which important matters rise, we are prone to exaggerate the influence of accident, but so far reaching were the results of this meeting that afterward to Crane it took on the appearance of occult design, his usual time of arrival in this part of the city being much earlier and his regu lar custom not to journey there, as on this morn ing, by the elevated road, but in a well-cushioned cab - solitary, thoughtful and calm. On the other hand, Brownell had never brought his daughter into lower Broadway until this day, and had, in fact, started as usual alone.
