The Blix and Ramm series emerged from the collaboration between Thomas Enger, a journalist-turned-novelist, and Jørn Lier Horst, a former detective. This partnership brings authentic detail to both police procedure and media coverage, showing how investigations unfold while journalists rush to break stories. Alexander Blix represents old-school detective work, methodical and careful, while Emma Ramm embodies modern media’s speed and celebrity focus. Their relationship shifts between cooperation and conflict as they both pursue truth through different means.
The seven novels feature high-stakes cases in Oslo, from celebrity murders to serial killings, with plots that examine Norwegian society and the role of media in shaping public perception of crime. Blix must navigate department politics and his own aging career, while Emma faces pressure to deliver sensational stories for her tabloid employer. The series explores ethical questions about journalism, privacy, and the public’s right to know.
Written between the authors’ other solo projects, the Blix and Ramm books combine the strengths of both writers. The novels have been adapted for television and translated internationally, appealing to readers who enjoy procedurals with media elements and the atmospheric tension characteristic of Nordic crime fiction.
