Publisher Description
A new twist in thrillers, The Oslo Conspiracy is certain to captivate readers who like their heroes rich, handsome, caring, and very, very sexy.
In The Oslo Conspiracy, a Norwegian scientist is found dead in a hotel room in Rome. Before she is strangled, she manages to scribble a few words on a piece of paper.
Half-Norwegian, half-Italian Milo Cavalli is sent to help out with the investigation in Italy, since he is familiar with Italian red tape. Milo finds the note from the scientist, and he also learns that earlier her kid brother had been killed in a schoolyard.
Milo becomes obsessed with finding out if there is a link between the two murders—the sister strangled in Italy and the brother shot in Norway. And he is willing to use his vast fortune and special connections—especially when those connections involve beautiful women—to find the answers.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Norwegian author Skredderberget's uneven U.S. debut, a series launch, introduces Milo Cavalli, an extremely wealthy Norwegian cop assigned to the Financial Crimes Unit. Because Milo is Italian on his father's side, his superiors dispatch him to Rome to help investigate a Norwegian citizen's murder. Ingrid Tollefsen, a researcher who worked at the Oslo office of an American pharmaceutical company, was found strangled in her hotel room in Italy, but with no other signs of violence. Milo is surprised to learn that two years earlier the victim's 15-year-old brother was executed near his school in Norway by gangsters who also gunned down a teacher. Meanwhile, Milo's personal life resembles a soap opera as he deals with tension with his significant other, romantic temptations, and dramatic revelations about his family. Milo's antics won't be to every taste, nor will the plot contrivances. For example, the cop who assists Milo in Italy lost a parent in a naval catastrophe that also affected Milo's family.
