The acclaimed author of Burned is back with more heart-stopping suspense in a gritty and thrilling sequel that pits Norwegian crime reporter Henning Juul against an international crime ring. From the internationally bestselling author of Burned ("Possibly the best $15 you'll spend on a mystery this year." --Bookpage) comes a taut and riveting tale of secrets, betrayals, and a dangerous quest for the truth. If you find out who set me up, I'll tell you what happened the day your son died. That is the message crime reporter Henning Juul--back at work after being terribly burned and scarred for life in a fire that killed his son--receives from a jailed extortionist named Tore Pulli who's been convicted for a murder he claims he didn't commit. Truth has never meant more for Henning Juul. And when Pulli is found dead in his prison cell--an apparent suicide--Juul decides to dig deeper. He knows the murders Pulli was convicted of do not bear his signature, and he's convinced that Pulli would never have taken his own life. Striking up a fragile partnership with Iver Gundersen, a journalist now living with Juul's ex-wife, Juul uncovers an internal power struggle in the gang world, where the desire for serious money is destroying the traditional, honor-based hierarchy. Uncovering more questions than answers, Henning soon realizes that he has to find not one but several killers . . . ruthless murderers who have never been more dangerous than they are now.… (mais)

Number two in this series about Norwegian crime journalist Henning Juul, and our hero is still in psychic agony following the death in a fire of his son Jonas. Juul is convinced that the fire was deliberately set. When imprisoned "enforcer" Tore Pulli tells Juul that he knows what happened, and will tell him if Juul helps proved Pulli's innocence, we are off to the races. The story is complex but compelling, the characters fully developed, and the style helps keep the suspense at a high level. Now I'm set to read number three in the series. ( )

Een veroordeelde moordenaar: Tori Pulli, een machtige figuur uit de onderwereld van Oslo, is schuldig bevonden aan moord.

Een los eindje: Pulli zoekt contact met Henning Juul. Hij beweert dat hij Henning kan helpen aan informatie over wie verantwoordelijk was voor de brand waarbij Jonas, de zesjarige zoon van Henning, werd gedood.

Een dubbele dreiging: de informatie van Pulli is niet alleen levensgevaarlijk voor hen beiden, maar ook voor anderen. De inzet is nog nooit zo hoog geweest. Wanhopig om ook zijn eigen zoektocht naar gerechtigheid voort te zetten, bevindt Henning zich op het spoor van twee moordenaars.
Recensie(s)

De tweede roman van de Noorse auteur van misdaadromans in een serie van vier. Hoofdpersonage is Henning Juul, redacteur bij een internetkrant in Oslo. In het eerste deel ‘Schijndood’* wordt een gestenigde vrouw gevonden; Henning twijfelt aan eenvoudige recepten voor de oplossing van de moord. Ook nu speelt het gegeven van Hennings mentale beschadiging door de brand, waarbij zijn jonge zoon omkwam, weer een centrale rol. De voormalige crimineel Tore Pulli is veroordeeld voor de moord op een Zweedse ‘collega’. Tore beweert echter onschuldig te zijn en vraagt Henning hem te helpen zijn onschuld te bewijzen om zo de gevangenis te kunnen verlaten. Tore beweert als wederdienst de moordenaar van Hennings zoon aan te kunnen wijzen… Er ontvouwt zich voor Henning een gevaarlijke dynamiek waarbij niet alleen hij zich in levensgevaar bevindt. Verhaal met een ijzersterk plot ondanks de soms wat trage schrijfstijl. Het geheel is neergezet in korte zinnen en korte hoofdstukken. ( )

This is the follow up to 'Burned' and the second in the series featuring Oslo-based journalist Henning Juul. The series is centered around Juul's struggle to deal with the death of his son, which he largely feels responsible for, and his efforts to get to the bottom of the fire that resulted in his son's death and he receiving extensive injuries.

In Pierced, Tore Pulli, a prisoner with an upcoming appeal into his conviction for a murder, challenges Juul to find evidence of his innocence, Juul's incentive being that Pulli knows something about the fire that resulted in his son's death and will share it with him in due course. Convinced that something untoward resulted in the fire, Juul has no choice but to investigate despite the weight of evidence against Pulli and the type of character he is. With assistance from fellow journalist, Iver Gundersen, who also happens to be his ex-wife's partner, Juul sets about delving into the seedy and dangerous world of underground gyms and clubs in Oslo.

A parallel story involving a news cameraman has you wondering for some time what relevance that story line plays but all eventually becomes clear. Its inclusion and outcome lends to a complicated and involving plot which, for me, was largely satisfying and deemed the book a worthy read despite the book maybe being unnecessarily long at over 500 pages.

Juul's struggle to deal with his son's death, plus his relationship with his ex-wife and her current partner, add nicely to the story and indeed serve to enhance the book's overall appeal.

Given that the series continues with 'Scarred', which I now look forward to reading, it might be safe to assume that Juul's struggle will continue a bit longer despite what this story might reveal. Enjoy, I did! ( )
