“The Vik and Stubo series runs eight books from 2001 to 2012, pairing detective Yngvar Stubo with profiler Inger Johanne Vik. The combination of police investigation and psychological profiling gives the series a dual perspective on each case.”

Holt uses the professional tension between Stubo’s street-level detective work and Vik’s academic approach to generate friction within each story. The series covers increasingly dark territory, with Death in Oslo (2006) and Fear Not (2008) among the more intense entries.
