Hell Is Open

When police inspector Tommy Bergmann finds a young prostitute seriously hurt in an apartment in Oslo he is thrown back in time to his first days on the force. The girl's extensive injuries are disturbingly similar to damages done to the victims of a series of murders committed some years ago by a schoolteacher named Anders Rask. But Rask is securely imprisoned in an institution for the criminally insane--he can hardly be the culprit. When the mother of one of the murdered girls reads about the incident in the papers her tenuous grasp on reality slowly starts to slip. She is sure that her daughter's old teacher has been innocently convicted and that she knows who the real killer is. But no matter how certain she is, she cannot breath a word of it to anyone. For doing so would reveal her own secrets from that fateful night in 1988 when her daughter disappeared for ever. Hell Was Open is the stand alone sequel in the series about police inspector Tommy Bergmann. It is an immensely suspenseful and creepy novel that will take you far into the depths of a madness, be it the victim's or the perpetrator's....
