      I thought it was an interesting police procedural, and well-told in the sense that the plot kept advancing. It came across as clumsily written, which perhaps is due to the translation into English. But all in all it was worth a read, I though.
    • 5/5
      THE HUNTING DOGS is the eighth title published in the William Wisting series, the third to be published in English. Wisting is aged 52, the widowed father of grown up twins, a carerr policeman who has risen through the ranks to become Chief Inspector in the Criminal Investigation Department of Larvik Police, just as the author was. The setting is Vestfold county on the south-west coast of Norway. Wisting has recently added to his duties as head of CID by becoming a visiting lecturer at the recently opened police College campus at Stavern. A lecture he had given recently had been about ethics and morality, a topic that becomes the central focus of this novel.The man who was convicted of murdering Cecilia Linde seventeen years before has served his time and has been released. He has always protested his innocence and now a hot-shot lawyer is convinced he can prove that the police planted the crucial evidence that resulted in the conviction.Wisting has always been convinced of Rudolf Haglund's guilt but now he also becomes convinced that the cigarette butt that was crucial in the case was planted by someone close to him on the investigation. He realises that he, like others on his team, did not question the evidence closely enough, because they, like hunting dogs, were only concerned with bringing their quarry down. The Assistant Chief of Police, who seventeen years ago was the police prosecutor, is quick to step back, and to point out that Wisting was in charge of the investigation, and therefore that he must bear the full responsibility if there has been police corruption. If guilt is proven there is a hefty prison sentence.This is a very readable book, although I question the extensive involvement of Wisting's daughter Line and her team in the case. I'm not sure enough of my case to say that it wouldn't happen here.I'd love to read more by this author. The book carries with in a strong sense of setting and reality, and the characters are finely drawn.

      This is the first of Horst's books that I have read, and I really enjoyed it. The plot is complex, and he handled all of the various parts deftly. I really enjoyed having the plots explored from both the viewpoints of the police (the father) and the media (the daughter). This brought a fresh perspective to the murder mystery and brought together two natural components of the search in such a way that they couldn't simply be competitors working against each other for information.
