The final nail-biting installment in the ten-part, award-winning Hanne Wilhelmsen series from Scandinavia's most celebrated female crime writer, Anne Holt

In 2001, three-year-old Dina is killed in a tragic car accident. Not long thereafter Dina's mother dies under mysterious circumstances, and Dina's father Jonas is convicted of her murder.

Now it's 2016, and the cold case ends up on the desk of Detective Henrik Holme, who tries to convince his mentor Hanne Wilhelmsen that Jonas might have been wrongly convicted. Holme and Wilhelmsen discover that the case could be connected to the suicide of an eccentric blogger, as well as the kidnapping of the grandson of a EuroJackpot millionaire.

Twenty-four years in the writing, the ten books in Anne Holt's internationally bestselling series is now complete. "Hanne is a character who's going to get in your head-and stay there" (Entertainment Weekly). In Dust and Ashes is the exciting, not-to-be-missed conclusion to this terrific series.

      Kate Reading's performance is elegant, cool, and beautifully responsive to the text in this tenth and apparently last outing for Hanne Wilhelmsen, a cranky Norwegian master detective in a wheelchair who must investigate remotely via an able-bodied partner, as Nero Wolfe or Perry Mason did. The fact that Hanne is married to a woman and has a child adds complexity to her situation, as does the balky personality of her partner, detective Henrik Holme. There's no need to have read earlier installments to understand or relish the plot, in which apparently unrelated tragedies, the long ago death of a child, the suicide of a lesbian right-wing blogger, and the kidnapping of a lottery winner's grandchild, converge for a nerve-shredding climax. Nordic noir at its best. B.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from March 12, 2018
      At the start of Holt’s elegiac 10th and final novel featuring Oslo chief inspector Hanne Wilhelmsen (after 2017’s Odd Numbers), veteran police detective Kjell Bonsaksen, who’s about to retire, brings a possible miscarriage of justice to the attention of Hanne’s eccentric disciple, Henrik Holme. In 2004, Jonas Abrahamsen, whose marriage fell apart after the death of his three-year-old daughter in a car accident in 2001, was convicted of his ex-wife’s murder. Kjell believes that Jonas, who has served 12 years in prison, is innocent. Meanwhile, Hanne, a gifted and unorthodox investigator, suspects that the death of far-right activist Iselin Havørn is not the suicide it appears. Under Hanne’s guidance, Henrik gradually grows into maturity as a genuine humanitarian, while Hanne, despite her physical limitations due to a serious line-of-duty injury, digs into Havørn’s background, shedding light on right-wing European movements with their anti-Muslim “criminal, capitalist conspiracy” theories. For Hanne and Henrik, both convincing complex characters, all suffering comes down to the “good old sins”: money, sex, and revenge. Readers will be sorry to see the last of them.
