Sinossi

A vintage Dakota aircraft should be the perfect setting for a peaceful sightseeing flight. But when construction tycoon Birger Bergersen is discovered dead in his seat—killed by a nail gun to the head—private investigator Olivia Henriksen faces her most challenging case yet.

Hired by the Dakota flying club, Olivia soon discovers that Bergersen had made enemies throughout Norway's construction industry. With nineteen passengers who all had motive and opportunity, the investigation takes her from belly dancing classes to sailing regattas as she uncovers a world of exploited workers and corrupt developers.

But when Olivia stumbles into a massive social dumping operation, the case becomes deadly personal. Trapped by a killer who's already claimed one life, she must rely on her wits and a conveniently placed manure pit to survive.

As she peels back layers of deceit in Norway's construction world, Olivia realises that some business empires are built on foundations of crime—and their owners will kill to protect them.

The third book in the Island Mysteries series featuring the resourceful Olivia Henriksen.

Created for readers who want a clear, thought-provoking overview, it distills the central themes and ideas while preserving the depth and relevance of the work. 
On a warm summer night in a quiet English village, a young mother and her boyfriend vanish after attending a party at a grand estate called Dark Place. Left behind is their infant son and a mother desperate for answers. Two years later, a novelist moves into the area and stumbles upon a chilling clue near the woods: a sign that reads DIG HERE. What unfolds is a story of privilege, manipulation, and buried secrets, as past and present collide in the search for the truth. With haunting flashbacks and revelations that refuse to stay hidden, this novel explores the depths of obsession, the resilience of motherhood, and the shadows that linger in even the most picturesque places.

The Greek Interpreter - Sherlock...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"The Greek Interpreter", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. The story was originally serialised in Strand Magazine in 1893. This story introduces Holmes's elder brother Mycroft. Doyle ranked "The Greek Interpreter" seventeenth in a list of his nineteen favourite Sherlock Holmes stories.
On a summer evening, while engaged in an aimless conversation that has come round to the topic of hereditary attributes, Doctor Watson learns that Sherlock Holmes, far from being a one-off in terms of his powers of observation and deductive reasoning, in fact has an elder brother whose skills, or so Holmes claims, outstrip even his own. As a consequence of this, Watson becomes acquainted with the Diogenes Club and his friend's brother, Mycroft.
