Travel Guide
Finse
Finse is a small village which is experiencing an apocalyptic snow storm and there is a dramatic train derailment in this place, there is a lot of people affected and injured in so many ways.
There are storms happening all over the region – the Alps is experiencing the worst storm in on record. Added to this, there is a priest murdered and then another one of God’s servants killed with an icicle – a deadly snowstorm has unexpected consequences
According to the BBC, the village was used for expedition training by Amundsen Scott and Shackleton.
Oslo Police
The police and legal team work from the police HQ in Gronlandsleiret 44 “which has no historical resonance unlike the previous building in Mollergata where the HQ used to be. The police seems to be bothered that their block is unlike the smart government buildings of Victoria Terrasse nearby”
Cases always seems to involve a conspiracy or two operating high up in the Oslo legal system and since Ms Holt was Norway’s Justice Minister, there is a keen sense of accuracy and realistic dialogue and other plot background within every book.
