I have just released my 7th SoftWaters Novel which is based in Norway. Pick it up on Amazon Books. Paperback and e-books. Read more about this novel and my other ones on www.johnabeln.com.
Here’s the synopsis:
The Followers, an ultra-right splinter group, are demanding the Norwegian government correct the balance between industrial and ecological space. Eliminate paved roads! Decrease cars! Add more paths for bicycles and walking parks! Their plans obvious to all who dare to look deep enough—their intentions are outlined clearly within the group’s own manifesto which threatens to invoke a bloodletting tribunal upon the State.
SoftWater’s European Series, No. 7Meanwhile, the summer solstice brings an uplifting light. With the Nordic sun shining for a full twenty hours, life feels bright. The Hogsness families hold true to their established traditions celebrating the day with a retreat to their summer home near Bergen. The group invites Betsy Waters (an American) and boyfriend, Carl Masimo (a South African), to join them. The Bergen police unit and the State PST police from Oslo organize a task force to track down the Followers and provide extra protection surrounding the Hogsness family festivities. Are additional police enough to protect people from unbalanced extremists? Nordic Sun is ultimately a journey to understand one’s intuition and courage making heroes out of unlikely people.
