I haven't read anything by Kjell Ola Dahl until this book caught my eye.
The Lazarus Solution is a thriller, set in Sweden during the second world war. The plot centres around the murder of a Norwegian agent, and the investigation into said murder.
The book is as intriguing as its title suggests and well worth a read if historical fiction is your bag.
