Trude Teige
The Pasient

NEVER FORGIVE, NEVER FORGET

He calls himself Croesus and has been a patient at the Norwegian mental institution Dikemark for 50 years. Before he dies, he whispers: – they kill patients here.

One of the few who managed to talk to Croesus, is Julia, the daughter of a brain surgeon who works at Dikemark.

Some years later Julia disappears without a trace, and when journalist Kajsa Coren is summoned to find out what happened, she is thrown into a maelstrom that includes psychiatric research, an undiscovered Edvard Munch-painting and neglected children.

Soon Kajsa’s employer is found murdered, and the investigation reveals that he was not who he said he was.
