Nordic Sun

The Followers, an ultra-right splinter group, are demanding that the Norwegian government correct the balance between industrial and environmental space. Eliminate paved roads!  Decrease cars! Add more paths for bicycles and walking parks! While these requests appear to be sensible and brimming with altruistic consideration, the messengers behind them are anything but. The Followers make 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.

When cousins Sven Hogsness, Chief Inspector of Bergen Police, and Svent Hogsness, the State (PST) Director, receive multiple execution videos along with body parts delivered directly to their private residences, the bullseye is painted!

Meanwhile, the summer solstice brings an uplifting light. With the Nordic sun shining above for a full twenty hours, life feels bright. The Hogsness families, holding true to their established traditions, celebrate the day as a retreat to their summer home outside of Bergen. The group invites Betsy Waters (an American) and her boyfriend, Carl Masimo (a South African), to join them. The local Bergen police unit and the State PST police from Oslo organize a task force to track down the Followers and provide extra protection during the Hogsness family festivities.

Everything surrounding the solstice, it seems, is shrouded in mystery. Are additional police enough to protect people from unbalanced extremists? And, when life hangs upon a tenuous thread, what does it really mean to ‘do the right thing?’ Rich with subplots and complex detective work, Nordic Sun is ultimately a journey about finding truth and how listening to one’s intuition can make heroes out the most unlikely people.
