New Crime Novel: Paranoia

"Paranoia" is the name of the recently published crime novel by Jógvan Isaksen. An American woman is found drowned on a shore in the outskirts of Torshavn. The two detectives Hannis Martinson and William Hammer are carrying out their own investigations and have their own versions of how to solve this murder case. Soon other things related to the murder start happening and on top of that the corona pandemic hits the Faroe Islands. It seems that the great world powers are also involved and try to influence the case for their own good.

This is the first crime novel in which Isaksen includes both detectives, Hannis Martinson and William Hammer, who are otherwise main characters each in their own crime novel series. Jógvan Isaksen has written ten novels in the series about Hannis Martinson and five novels in the series about William Hammer. At the moment, TROM, an international tv series is beeing shot in the Faroe Islands with Danish actor Ulrich Thomsen in the leading role as Hannis Martinsson.
