Description
The Night Man, the inspiration for the second series of BBC Four's Wisting, sees the detective return to face a terrifying killer with a horrifying calling card...
It happened in the quiet town of Larvik.
A severed head displayed on a stake. A crime so dark only one man can solve it—Police Inspector William Wisting.
Soon more bodies are found. A media frenzy panics the locals. And when Wisting's investigation leads him to a deadly underground crime ring, he fears the whole town may be in danger.
But at the heart of it is just one man—The Night Man.
The man Wisting must find if he wants to stop the murders.
That is, if The Night Man doesn't get to him first...
