麻豆约拍

Matthew Holness stars as Knut 脜ngstr枚m, a brooding, alcoholic, maverick Swedish detective from the tough streets of Oslo.

Scandinavian detective yarn adapted from the bestselling 脜ngstr枚m trilogy by Martin English (writing as Bjorgen Swedenssonsson).

Following the death of his wife, 脜ngstr枚m is posted to the Njalsland peninsula where he becomes embroiled in a labyrinthine murder (or possibly not-murder) case which bears an eerie similarity to the Askeladden killings - a case from his distant past.

The investigation takes 脜ngstr枚m and Mina to the remote Celibate Puffin Island (but it's all one word in Swedish).

Here they find a possible connection between the Askeladden murders and the sinister Bolax Corporation, bringing them closer to finally discovering the identity of the mysterious Ash Lad...

Written by Joel Morris and Jason Hazeley.
