Gert Nygårdshaug

Hunter´s Doll

Jegerdukken

A sensational archaeological discovery is made in a desolate mountain valley in Norway:

Two ancient, dead bodies have been dug up from the moss, along with objects with unfamiliar inscriptions. The wine connoisseur and decryption expert Fredric Drum is called and suddenly finds himself in the center of mysterious and dangerous events. The excitement builds on the appearance of an old hunter amulet; a doll.

Gert Nygårdshaug brings the reader into a world where trout fishing, magnificent nature, archeology and myths merge into a high-end drama.

“Amazing norwegian crime with mysterious and occult twist. Makes you fancy expensive wines and strange cheeses.”

Panurgus
