1222 Anne Holt

A train headed for the northern reaches of Norway careens off the track during a massive blizzard, 1,222 meters above sea level. The passengers abandon the train for a nearby, and nearly empty, centuries-old hotel. Sheltered from the storm, the passengers think they are safe—until one of them turns up dead. With no sign of rescue, retired police inspector Hanne Wilhelmsen is asked to investigate. Paralyzed by a bullet lodged in her spine, bitter, and antisocial, Hanne has no wish to return to police work, but curiosity and a natural talent for observation slowly coax her back to her old habits. When another body turns up, Hanne realizes time is running out and she must act fast before panic takes over. Trapped in her wheelchair, trapped by the storm, and now trapped with a killer, Hanne must fit the pieces of the puzzle together before they strike again.
