Sound of a Murder: A Scandinavian Thriller

Marius Tokle is a well-educated young man of 25, living in Oslo, Norway. A senseless tragedy in his youth has made him into a man with a somewhat skewed moral compass. Society owes him, although he is neither bitter nor vindictive by nature. Just a pragmatist on life’s journey.

A shady deal gone wrong, Marius is on the run when he witnesses a murder. But the culprits have no idea he is there. Marius uses the situation to his advantage, and his life changes forever in more ways than one.

Sound of a Murder is a story of a young man, his choices and their consequences. It is a story of misplaced ingenuity, of how money corrupts and how life events shape who we become. The characters are defined by their actions, the dialogue sharp, and the twists many.

Oslo is often described as a big, small town. Everyone seems somehow connected, and old school ties are strong. But Norwegians are also famously reserved, in stark contrast to a transparency of personal records unthinkable in most other countries, to the benefit of authorities and criminals alike. This dichotomy adds colour and substance to a story that smoulders and burns. Unexpected developments push the readers' imagination but remain on the right side of plausibility.

It will keep you guessing until the very last page.
