      V pieskových dunách na stavangerskej pláži nájdu dobité telo – pravdepodobne ide o policajta Simona Bergelanda. Keď sa o tom dopočuje Thorkild Aske, rozhodne sa vrátiť do mesta, ktoré ho prenasleduje v jeho snoch, aby pátral po odpovediach. Stavanger je miestom, ktoré mu zmenilo život; tu stratil Frei a prišiel o prácu policajného vyšetrovateľa. Na vine bol Simon Bergeland, Frein milenec, ktorý bol však od toho osudného dňa nezvestný. Čoskoro sa však ukáže, že všetko je inak. Thorkild čelí jednému nebezpečenstvu za druhým a začína si uvedomovať, že niekto nielenže nechcel, aby sa do Stavangeru vrátil, ale aj to, že ho návrat môže stáť život. St. Avenger je štvrtý diel série Heineho Bakkeida o utrápenom a sardonickom bývalom vyšetrovateľovi Thorkildovi Askeovi. Román získal Rivertonovou cenou za najlepšiu nórsku detektívku roka.

      St. Avenger
    • Bývalý vyšetrovateľ Thorkild Aske sa musí vrátiť k svojim koreňom na Islande, keď jeho otec Ulfur, environmentalista s pohnutou minulosťou, ochorie na rakovinu. Ulfur je však aj vo väzení: obvinili ho z vraždy jeho mladej milenky. Otec trvá na tom, že je nevinný. Thorkild a jeho sestra začnú pátrať po pravde a skutočnom vrahovi. Ich cesta vedie naprieč Islandom a do temných hlbín minulosti – ich vlastnej, ako aj Ulfurovej radikálnej environmentálnej skupiny – a hrozí, že odhalí temné tajomstvá, na ktoré je najlepšie zabudnúť. Cena za pravdu sa bude počítať v ľudských životoch.
