In an exciting, well-constructed crime novel, the first murder should come – if not at the bottom of page 2 – at the very least by the top of page 3, and then more murders should follow one after the other like pearls on a string. A thriller costing four kroner must under no circumstances contain fewer than four murders, which gives the reader a return of about a krone per murder on their investment. But it’s not looking good for this book. We’re already on page 75, and so far only a single person has met his end – and it’s not even clear it was a murder. I can certainly understand how the audience must feel cheated. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Deep in the darkest part of the Norwegian woods stands Dead Man's Cabin, where 110 years ago a madman slew his sister and her lover, throwing their decapitated corpses in a nearby lake before drowning himself to join them in death. Ever since, the cabin has been cursed, and anyone who spends the night there is possessed by the killer's spirit and infected with his madness. Bjorn Werner, a young scholar from Oslo, ignored the old superstitions and bought the cabin as a place to read and work in quiet. Now he has disappeared, and the evidence suggests he threw himself in the lake in a fit of insanity. The police write it off as a suicide, but those who knew him are not so sure. Could the curse actually be real? Bjorn's sister and five of his friends travel to the cabin to look into his death, but not all of them will return alive from their stay at the Lake of the Dead.
