Anne Holt
What Is Mine

A multiple child kidnapper and killer at large in Norway unites jovial widower Yngvar Stubø with nervous, angst-ridden ex-FBI profiler Inger Johanne Vik, together forming one of the most original crime-solving teams ever. Together, Stubø and Vik manage to find a complex story of revenge where the rest of Norway are out hunting down paedophiles. A unique and clever crime story combined with a serious discussion of children and our responsibilities.

The internationally bestselling What Is Mine has sold more than 500 000 copies.

What Is Mine is the first installment in the Inger Johanne Vik series.

Her American debut is both an impassioned commentary on the responsibilities of parenthood and an engrossing mystery with an ingenious final twist.

Booklist, US

A savvy, sharply delineated suspense novel from Norwegian crime author Holt delves into the haunting motivation of a child-abductor…. Based on a true Norwegian murder case, Holt’s work is cerebral, complicated and immensely rewarding.

Kirkus Reviews, US

Fast-paced twists and turns plunge the reader into a nail-biting ending. Holt provides a gripping crime mystery in this first of a three-book series featuring Stubo and Vik. Highly recommended
