Blessed Are Those Who Thirst: A Hanne Wilhelmsen Novel - Plot & Excerpts
The sun had poured its warmth over the country and the bright green trees of springtime. The royal family stood steadfastly waving from their vast balcony. Tired, sullen children in mini–folk costumes with ice cream splashes trailed their little flags along the ground, despite the encouraging cheers of overeager parents. Hoarse, drunken students devastated everything in sight as though it were their last day on earth and their intention was to achieve the highest possible blood alcohol count on the road to the hereafter. The Norwegian people enjoyed themselves with their Constitution and lashings of eggnog, and everyone was in total agreement it had been a marvelous day. Apart from the Oslo police. They saw everything most of the others were fortunate to avoid. Disorderly conduct, overintoxicated citizens, unruly teenagers, one or two drunk drivers, and a few instances of domestic disturbance: all of this was to be expected and so could be handled with ease. A brutal murder and five other stabbing assaults were above and beyond the norm.
