This book is a debut novel for Martin Molsted.  Molsted lives in Norway and his hero Togrim Rygg comes from there.  This was a book that I received from the publisher for an early review.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  It is well written, and the plot is tight and keeps up the tension throughout.  It is certainly an international thriller.  The story takes place in Norway, Germany, Russia, Greece and Cyprus. The story centres around the disappearance of a Russian ship and Rygg is recruited by a man that he meets by chance in Hamburg.  Rygg is a lawyer in Oslo, and he has become disillusioned with his life and his job there.  He is ex-special forces so he brings some skills to Marin's (the man he met in Hamburg) plan for uncovering a Russian/Iranian plot.  This book is the first of a planned series with Rygg and Marin, and I am as excited about this proposed series as I've been with  a new series for a long time.  I love the characters and Molsted is a skilled writer.  This is definitely a series to watch for if you like tightly written thrillers with believable characters.
