With Alexander Blix dismissed from the police force and Emma Ramm's career as a news blogger now behind her, the pair have teamed up to form their own private-investigation agency. But business is slow, until Emma's sister is shot by a sniper in Oslo's main square in the midst, leaving Emma responsible for her twelve-year-old niece, and with an extremely personal case to solve.
But the shooting isn't a one-off. Over the course of a scorchingly hot summer, the sniper strikes again – and again – striking fear into the people of Oslo and setting the police on the trail of either a serial killer or a ruthless and unpredictable terrorist, set on causing mayhem.
But Blix has other ideas. The pattern of killings suggests to him that the shooter has a single target and using others as cover for his deadly plans. With the police sceptical about his theories, Blix and Ramm must go it alone to stop a killer who seems set on avenging himself against a society from which he is an outcast ... before he strikes again...
Searing, tense and full of twists and turns, Outcast is the breathtaking sixth instalment in the number-one bestselling Blix & Ramm series, and this time danger is far too close to home...
