    When the body of a young girl is found hanging from a tree, the only clue the police have is an airline tag around her neck. It reads 'I'm travelling alone'. In response, police investigator Holger Munch is immediately charged with assembling a special homicide unit. But to complete the team, he must track down his former partner, Mia Kr�ger - a brilliant but troubled detective - who has retreated to a solitary island with plans to kill herself. Reviewing the file, Mia finds something new - a thin line carved into the dead girl's fingernail: the number 1. She knows that this is only the beginning. To save other children from the same fate, she must find a way to cast aside her own demons and stop this murderer from becoming a serial killer.

    Sova. V lese visí anděl. „Od dob Larssonova Millenia tu nejspíš nebyla tak zvláštní, nesourodá, a přitom skvěle fungující dvojice vyšetřovatelů jako u nadšeně přijímaného románu Samuela Bjorka...“ napsal po českém vydání románu V lese visí anděl recenzent v Instinktu. A čtenářská obliba detektivek s Holgerem Munchem a Miou Krügerovou jeho slova potvrzuje. Užijte si oba jejich případy v jednom!

    Tři případy nesourodé, zato sehrané dvojice vyšetřovatelů Holgera Muncha a Mii Krügerové v jednom balíčku. Pod pseudonymem Samuel Bjork se skrývá úspěšný norský spisovatel, dramatik, zpěvák a textař Frode Sander Oien. Svou první divadelní hru napsal v jedenadvaceti letech, od té doby vedle dalších her vydal dva vysoce hodnocené romány: Pepsi Love (2001) a Speed k snídani (2009), natočil šest hudebních alb, věnuje se také výtvarnému umění a překládá Shakespeara. Jeho první detektivka V lese visí anděl (2013, č. 2015) se hned po vydání stala hitem v celé Skandinávii. Následně tento vrstevnatý a propracovaný detektivní román, v němž uvádí na scénu dvojici detektivů Holgera Muncha a Miu Krügerovou, vyvolal obrovskou vlnu mezinárodního zájmu a již byl přeložen do více než třiceti jazyků. Druhý detektivní případ, který Holger s Miou vyšetřují v románu Sova (2015, č. 2016), se vyznačuje právě tak promyšlenou a napínavou zápletkou, ale navíc odhalí mnohé z osobního života obou hlavních hrdinů. Ve třetí knize s názvem Clona (2018, č. 2019) se osobní záležitosti vyšetřovatelů proplétají s případy více, než by si kterýkoli z nich přál.
