Blind Hound - A Nordic Noir Mystery
He's never lost a case, but then again, he's never encountered one like this.For the past thirty years, Jean Stone — known as "the Blind Hound" to Oslo's police — has maintained an impeccable record by adhering to one important principle: rely on what you can hear, smell, and feel rather than what you're told. So when twenty-four-year-old hockey star Emily Richard is discovered dead in a completely sealed training rink, without any broken locks, footprints, or evidence for forensic experts to grasp, Jean is the sole detective in Norway capable of interpreting a crime scene designed to leave no trace behind.When faced with a case that exceeds his limitations, he turns to his mentor for guidance.Professor Arthur Watson has been Jean's teacher in everything: from mapping out a room in complete darkness to detecting deceit through the rhythm of a heartbeat, and cracking the toughest of cases. For thirty years, Watson's voice has anchored Jean's life. Therefore, when Watson begins providing him with answers for a baffling murder with eerie accuracy, Jean doesn’t suspect a thing.But perhaps he should.As Jean and his fiercely devoted partner, Luna, delve deeper into the mystery, Watson's guidance begins to feel suspiciously like a confession — forcing Jean to confront the unsettling likelihood that the man who taught him to catch killers has been secretly training him to become an ideal, unwitting accomplice.Now, Jean faces a critical decision: uphold the winning streak that established his reputation, or pursue the truth into the one area he never anticipated investigating — the very mentor who illuminated his path in darkness.This claustrophobic, atmospheric Nordic noir is perfect for fans of traditional locked-room mysteries and anyone who has ever pondered how well you can truly know the person who shapes your thinking.
