Book-cover:
The snow-covered streets of Oslo are the very picture of Christmas tranquility. But over the tolling of bells for Christmas Day, a black note sounds. A boy's body washes up near the shoreline of the city's Aker Bridge. As first light breaks, Bishop Eva Karin Lysgaard is found stabbed to death in the quiet city center.
DI Adam Stubo heads up the police investigation, but it is Johanne Vik, criminal profiler, who inferfs an unlikely pattern from this shocking murder, and who suspects that a bitter and untempered hatred has been unleashed upon the city of Oslo. A hatred that is not yet satisfied ...

This is Anne Holt's fourth novel featuring Detective Inspector Adam Studo, and his wife,the criminal profiler, Johanne Vik.

'Fear not' is an intelligent, rather complex but always satisfying crime novel. The characters are rendered credibly and I especially loved the description of Johanne's autistic daughter and her role in this novel. The book, although being a crime novel, treats issues like tolerance, fundamentalist religious views, hate groups and hate crime.

This is my first Anne Holt novel, but certainly not the last.
