Punishment

Punishment (2006) by Anne Holt | Time Warner Books
Sold by Crappy Old Books – because not every thriller needs to be shiny and new.

From the frosty streets of Oslo comes a chilling Scandinavian crime novel that’ll keep you turning pages with slightly yellowed fingers. Punishment (originally titled Det som er mitt) introduces profiler Johanne Vik and detective Adam Stubo, an unlikely duo chasing a twisted serial killer targeting children. Dark, intelligent, and disturbingly relevant, Holt blends psychological insight with classic crime grit.

It’s got murder, mind games, and just enough existential dread to qualify as Scandinavian noir. The spine’s a little creased, the pages may smell like a forgotten library – but the story? Still razor-sharp.

Ex-library book, but in good shape. Inner page has been torn out by library.
