Olivier Norek – författare & böcker

Efter Victor Costes senaste utredning har allt verkat lugnare i departement 93. Men Coste och hans team får knappast någon chans att njuta av lugnet då flera knarkkungar mördas i området.

Plötsligt befinner teamet sig mitt uppe i ett brutalt, och till synes oförklarligt, krig. Knarkgömmor hemma hos pensionärer, korrupta myndigheter och en borgmästares dotter som beskjuts på väg hem från skolan. Vem ligger bakom dåden som hotar att slita staden i stycken?

Territoriet är den andra fristående delen i trilogin om kommissarie Victor Coste. Det är en mörk berättelse som utspelar sig i en olycksbådande värld, där till och med mördarna är marionetter.

"... andlöst spännande /.../ Alltigenom suverän läsning!" - Ingalill Mosander, Aftonbladet

"Thrillerns mästare" - Elle

"... ett säkert kort för dem som gillar hårdkokta deckare med ekon från verkligheten" - BTJ-häftet 16/2022, Karin Flygare

"Smart ... och inte för den svaghjärtade. Den kommer att få dig att gråta (efter mer)." - The Times

"Gripande ... allt han skriver är spännande" - Literary Review

Olivier Norek slog igenom med deckaren Ytspänning, som fick fantastiska recensioner och nominerades till bästa översatta spänningsroman av Svenska Deckarakademin. 2021 släpptes deckaren Kod 93 på svenska, den första boken om kommissarie Victor Coste och hans parisiska utredningsteam. Norek jobbar som polis i Paris mest utsatta områden, och skriver insatt om kriminella gäng och knepiga utredningar.

November, 1939. A conscription officer arrives in a farming village. The Soviet Union has invaded. Finland is at war. Setting off into the depths of winter to face the Red Army, the group of childhood friends recruited from Rautjarvi cannot be confident that they will ever return. But their unit has a secret weapon: the soldier Simo Hayha, whose lethal skill as a sniper in the snowbound forests of the front line will earn him the nickname 'The White Death'.

Police capitaine Noemie Chastain has everything: a coveted position in Paris, a devoted team and a loving partner. In an instant, she loses it all. On a dawn raid in a grimy Parisian banlieue, in an instant, she loses it all. Shot by the drug dealer she was about to arrest, she is left with serious scars on her face and deeper, longer-lasting damage to her psyche. Pushed out of her job in Paris by superiors concerned that her disfigurement would damage team morale, abandoned by her boyfriend, she is posted to a police department that serves six sparsely populated communes in the back of beyond, in the southern department of Aveyron. Her brief: to report back on the police department and give head office an excuse to close it altogether. But when the body of a child floats to the surface of the man-made lake that hides the buried past of the village of Avalone, Capitaine Chastain is forced to take the opportunity to prove her worth and win back her job in Paris. To solve the case, she must lead a team more used to tracking down stolen combine harvesters - handsome Lieutenant Valant, the mayor's son; ex-Drug Squad Brigadier Bousquet; and green local boy 'Bambi' - through the twists and turns of what has become a murder investigation and uncover the dark secrets that have haunted the village for twenty years.

Nominerad till Årets bästa översatta kriminalroman av Svenska Deckarakademin

Frankrikes nya stjärnskott på deckarhimlen

Noémie Chastain, kommissarie på Parispolisen, blir skjuten rakt i ansiktet mitt under ett tillslag. När hon skrivs ut från sjukhuset får hon inte komma tillbaka till sin gamla tjänst. Istället skickas hon till den fridfulla byn Avalone, med uppdraget att förbereda nedläggningen av byns polisstation.

Men så flyter en tunna med ett barnskelett upp till ytan i den konstgjorda sjön intill Avalone, och istället för tid att vila upp sig får Noémie ett högprofilerat cold case på halsen. På botten av sjön döljer sig hemligheter som alla verkar vilja glömma.

"Spännande och välskrivet om polisarbete, inre resor, cold case och spänningen mellan Paris och landsbygden. En riktig slukarkrim med humor, värme och en mångbottnad kvinnlig huvudkaraktär." - M-magasin

"Den här franska polisromanen är en av årets bästa deckare med spännande intrig, fantastiska miljöer och en hjältinna man aldrig glömmer." - Maria Näslund, Tara

"En stor favorit ... Jättebra och oerhört stämningsfull." - Jenny Lindh, TV4 Nyhetsmorgon

"En ny stjärna på den franska deckarhimlen ... Fantastiska beskrivningar, underbara karaktärer ... Väldigt bra!" - Monica Lindgren, Go'kväll

"Fransk kriminalroman med intressant polis i huvudrollen och fantastiska miljöer på landsbygden. Välskriven spänning av författare man vill läsa mer av." - Maria Näslund, Göteborgs-Posten

"Ytspänning är med rätta en av Deckarakademins nomineringar till årets bästa översatta deckare." - Lotta Olsson, Dagens Nyheter

"Att författaren arbetat som polis förvånar inte; jargongen känns äkta och miljöerna trovärdiga. Språket är lyhört och lyckas förmedla både det innersta mörkret under sömnlösa nätter och svettig action på samma självklara vis". - Göteborgs-Posten

"Välskrivet, lättläst och med flera oväntade vändningar." - Lars-Rune Strandell, DAST

"Noémie är okuvlig och rebellisk, en fängslande huvudperson som tack vare författarens skicklighet lyser allt klarare för varje sida." - Le Parisien

"Ytspänning är en originell men också klassisk deckare som är lagom spännande hela vägen fram till slutet. Fokus ligger på smart polisarbete och det förflutnas hemligheter, snarare än brutalt våld och grymma mord. Prosan är ren, enkel och välskriven, och den fina översättningen från franska behåller en ton av originalspråket." - Christine Karlsson, BTJ

Olivier Norek är polis med arton års erfarenhet från Parispolisen och författare till fyra hyllade thrillers. Ytspänning är den första som utkommer på svenska.

Hårdkokt fransk bladvändarspänning

Ett lik slår upp ögonen på obduktionsbordet. En mobiltelefon ringer inifrån en brännskadad död kropp. Den ena märkliga och makabra händelsen efter den andra radas upp, och kommissarie Victor Coste och hans kollegor får en svår utredning på sitt bord. Den liknar ingenting som kommissarie Coste tidigare har sett - trots sina 15 år på fältet.

Kod 93 utspelas i förorten Seine-Saint-Denis, ett av Paris allra hårdast belastade områden. Bland de slitna höghusen och urblåsta industrilokalerna frodas droghandel, prostitution och gängrelaterad brottslighet. Att politikerna bestämt sig för att lägga innerstadens soptipp i området gör inte saken bättre.

Det här är en mörk och spännande berättelse som tar oss till ett Paris vi sällan ser. Kod 93 är en hårdkokt deckare med högt tempo, engagerande karaktärer och snabba vändningar, där spänningen snabbt skruvas upp till max.

"Jag tror att franska spänningsförfattare kan vara mitt nya /.../ Jag kan bara gratulera alla som har de här böckerna framför sig!" - SVT Go'kväll, Titti Schultz

"En andlöst spännande intrig ända till sista sidan. En mästerlig deckare." - L'Express

Olivier Norek har arbetat som polis i 18 år, bland annat i Seine-Saint-Denis i Paris. 2020 kom hans deckare Ytspänning på svenska, en bok som hyllades av kritiker och läsare och nominerades till årets bästa översatta kriminalroman av Svenska Deckarakademin.
