Author Description

Oslo, 1972: It's only two weeks until the EEC referendum, but things aren't going well for the Commission. Although Kramer has a plan to save the day, at the eleventh hour his man in Oslo finds himself in jail accused of murder. Only one person can turn things around, but first Oskar Lenkeit needs to work out who he can really trust - and that includes his own boss. 'A welcome new book in a great series. The Norwegian setting is authentic with the strains between new urban and traditional rural well drawn. The political intrigue and the human interaction is interwoven in a way which enables the story to move along at different paces. As they say, a great read!' - Niall 'The author has woven a fast-paced thriller which takes the reader from the heart of the EU to Oslo via Trondheim, exposing the dark forces that were employed to influence the referendum in 1972. The politics are factually accurate yet written in a manner reminiscent of John Le Carre and from the first page piques the readers interest.' - Paul Series notes: The fifth novel in the Charlemagne series, but written to be a self-contained story without extensive plot reveals from earlier books.
