Wisting

Detective William Wisting discovers a corpse at a Norwegian Christmas tree farm, and Wisting's daughter works on a news article about their deceased neighbour.

Wisting is aided by FBI agents Maggie and John in his search for American serial killer Robert Godwin. Meanwhile, Line interviews Viggo's friends, and uncovers an unsavoury truth.

Wisting's team continue to search the bottom of wells all over town for more gruesome clues. They realise that the killer could also have been operating across the border in Sweden, potentially multiplying the number of victims.

Maggie pursues some unpopular, and not very Norwegian, investigative methods. Meanwhile, a discovery is made in the Larvik countryside. Line continues interviewing Viggo's old schoolmates and meets some interesting local characters along the way.

With the help of the Americans and the Swedes, Wisting's team have found more and more victims, but now Line herself has been kidnapped and Wisting faces a race against time to rescue her from the man they have been tracking all along.

Wisting and his team are basking in the success of their recent case. But from out of the blue comes an accusation that they, and specifically he, tampered with evidence in a case 17 years ago. William is fighting for his reputation and his career.
