The young migrant worker Elena works overtime in a food storage at a desolate industry area near Oslo. As she is about to lock herself out from the building, something happens. That same evening she is found killed, ran down by a car.
When the police starts the investigation, lead by the notorious Cato Isaksen, they soon discover that Elena was dating a dubious man called Wiggo, who at that time drove his ice truck car in the same district where seven year old Patrick Øye went missing the previous week. The last person to have seen the little boy was an elderly woman in the shabby house at the end of the road. What did she see? And how are these two cases tied together?

The Honey Trap which was first published in 2007 is the seventh book in the series about police inspector Cato Isaksen – and the book where Marian Dahle is introduced as Cato´s new colleague.

Six out of Six Stars
«The Honey trap is in my opinion the best of the books on Cato Isaksen” Oppland Arbeiderblad

“… a great example of a crime that doesn’t want to be something else or more than the utmost best crime fiction  – and has completely succeeded” Aftenposten

«… intelligent and elegant entertainment» Dagsavisen

“…once more she proves her superiority when it comes to creating suspense. The Honey Trap is an adrenalinpump and an entertaining crime which is not to be put away without a very good reason … The plot is extraordinary elegantly composed, there are layers on layers of mysterious events, people with secrets and surprising twists and turns.” Dagbladet
