New Book: ‘The Bomber’

Today marks the publication day of The Bomber, the highly anticipated sixth installment of the internationally bestselling Mia and Munch series.

Saturday, 09:07. An explosion shakes the capital, dulling the bright day and cloaking the sky in a thick haze of smoke. The city reels in shock, and Oslo is immediately set on lockdown with all national units called in. Holger Munch’s elite team, joined by the bright and promising Mia Krüger, quickly starts to investigate the attack. They soon learn that the bomb was only the first, and that more will follow, one every 24 hours…

As the hours drag on, the team is running on caffeine and fear, with few leads and mounting pressure as dawn breaks on Sunday morning. When the clock approaches 09:07, a terrified man in a wheelchair is spotted at a local park with a death sentence strapped to his chest. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. 

Amid the chaos, the police notice a strange man and detain him immediately. In one of his pockets, they find a notebook filled with specific details that only the mastermind behind the bombings would know. Once the man confesses, the nation breathes a sigh of relief. The danger, it seems, has passed. However, Mia is certain that the game hasn’t ended. So far, the perpetrator has seemed cunning, intelligent. Why would he then suddenly slip up so badly, as to get himself arrested?

When a third bomb detonates at exactly 09:07 the next day, Mia’s theory proves right. The bomber is still out there – watching, calculating, stringing them along. The team is running out of time, out of leads, and Mia is desperately trying to grasp the clues. Every second brings them closer to the next detonation – will they have enough time to beat the bomber at his own twisted game?

The Bomber is published by Bonnier Norsk today, June 6th.
