The Night Has a Thousand Eyes (1999)
A murder is reported at the Airport Hotel and journalist Einar is hauled out of bed with a thundering hangover to get the scoop. By chance he overhears some things his colleagues do not know and finds himself the nation’s source on this grisly crime. Einar is told to pursue the case further and he sets off. But he would have been better off to leave the case alone.
A story that captures the reader right up to the final page.
