'Gripping tightly-plotted stuff' - Guardian

'Accomplished, dazzling and cold' - The Good Book Guide

Igi Heitmann is being stalked. In the suburb of Oslo where she lives with her cross-dressing husband and their daughter, someone is spray-painting the walls of the houses. HEITMANN = CHILD KILLER, the graffiti says. Who would think this, and how do they know where she lives?

On a bitter winter's evening, Igi attends the opening of the exhibition of an avant-garde artist whose use of violent pornography has caused great controversy. A video is playing, showing a young man being strangled as part of a sado-masochistic sex game. Moving between the world of violent pornographic art and the happy life she shares with her husband and daughter, Igi must follow a dangerous and shocking path to the truth.

An Igi Heitman mystery.

Praise for The Golden Section

Curl up with a stiff whiskey and lose yourself in the inquiring mind of Igi Heitmann, a heroine of Smilla-like unconventionality

Guardian

Her distinctive voice brings a special quality to the story she tells in The Golden Section... Full of powerful descriptive passages, this is a book which stays in the memory

Sunday Telegraph

Pernille Rygg is one of the 'hard-boiled' school, critical of society, whose roots are deep in the worlds of Hammett and Chandler
