Deep Six

Episode 2 of 3

After a tip-off from a witness on a passing train, police divers bring up a mysterious crate from the depths of the Oslofjord. Read by Nicola Walker.

Annika Strandhed is a leading light in the murder squad of the Oslo police. Her neuroses - and she has a few - are mostly hidden by a boisterous manner and a love of motor boats. And she thinks she's funny - although her colleagues aren't so sure.

Commissioned specially for Radio 4, these three stories by Nick Walker introduce us to a new Scandinavian detective: not as astute as Sarah Lund or Saga NorΓ©n perhaps, but probably better company.
