Overview Isbjørngåten

On Friday 18 May 1973, 16-year-old Jørgen Magnus Kvamme disappears without a trace on his way home from school. His single mother reports him missing, and police inspector Kolbjørn ‘K2’ Kristiansen is handed the case.
It takes on a new dimension when K2 finds out the identity of the boy's father has been kept secret. He is the powerful business man Bjørn Christopher Fabricius, a timid old giant referred to as the Polar Bear. K2 also stumbles upon an unsolved 40-year-old mystery involving Fabricius' eldest son, who was kidnapped from his childhood bedroom in 1933 and never found.
Hans Olav Lahlum returns with his ninth book in the historical crime series about K2 and Patricia, this time with a hair-raising and magnificent crime drama that is also a thought-provoking family history.
Lahlums newest book in the series about the investigator duo K2 and Patricia Borchmann, The Polar Bear Puzzle, is the best he has written so far about the two. Lahlum exceeds himself in this high paced and exiting story that extends over decades. This book has drive and excitement from first to last page.
TVEDESTRANDSPOSTEN – Six out of six stars
Lahlum is skilled in the art of crime writing. The level of suspense is so high that it is hard to put the book down before you have finished reading. The author keeps the cards close to his chest, and managed to a number of times trick me into believing that I had found out who the kidnapper is. The high level of surprise when the answer was revealed was also a plus.
FÆDRELANDSVENNEN
Lahlum is an entertainer. I like his dramaturgy and writing, as well as the fact that he uses his knowledge about history in his stories.

Reviews Isbjørngåten

"Hans siste roman Isbjørngåten med etterforskerduoen K2 og Patricia Borchmann er den beste han har skrevet i serien så langt, om de to. Lahlum overgår seg selv i en drivende spennende fortelling som streker seg over flere tiår!(...) Her er det driv og spenning fra første til siste side."

 
Sven Gjeruldsen, Tvedestrandsposten

"Lahlum har igjen klarer å skape underholdning ut av en historie, som både er troverdig, dyster og nervepirrende."

 
Simen Ingemundsen, Boktimmy

(...)jeg likte Isbjørngåten veldig godt, og gleder meg allerede til kommende krimgåter med K2 og Patricia. Anbefales!"!

 
Ann Christin Berg, My criminal mind

"Lahlum er dessutan ein dyktig krimlitterær handverkar. Spenningsnivået er høgt nok til at det kan kjennast vanskeleg å legge boka frå seg før ho er ferdiglesen. Forfattaren held korta tett til brystet, og greidde fleire gonger å lure meg til å tru at eg hadde funne kidnapparen. At eg blei svært overraska når avklåringa kom, er også eit pluss."

 
Bjarne Tveiten, Fædrelandsvennen

"For å starte med en konklusjon: Åttende bok i den kriminalistiske historien, eller sikkert rettere sagt den historiske kriminalromanen med K2 og Patricia føyer seg godt inn i denne rekken og er minst like bra skrevet, interessant og utfordrende for leseren som de foregående."
"Boka anbefales."

 
Reidar Gramstad, Reidars bokblogg
