BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO THIRST
HOLT, ANNE
It is only the beginning of May but to Norwegians, the unseasonable heat already feels tropical when criminal
investigating officer Hanne Wilhelmsen is sent to a macabre crime scene on the outskirts of Oslo: an abandoned
shed that is covered in blood. On one wall is an eight-digit number written in blood. There is no sign of a victim—
is it just a kid’s prank, or foul play? Is it even human blood? Hanne has a bad feeling about the numbers, but
without further evidence, she can do nothing. As more bloody numbers are found throughout Oslo, Hanne’s
colleague Hakon Sand discovers that the eight-digit number corresponds to the filing number of foreign
immigrants waiting to be granted Norwegian citizenship—all female, all missing. When a dead body is finally
unearthed, Hanne and HÅkon fear they have a serial killer on their hands. Meanwhile, an unsolved rape case
appears to be connected to the murders and Hanne and Hakon must race to find the killer.
