Should chief investigator James Wiley Redding of the Norwegian Police suspect that any of the doctors working in the small rural hospital of Godshus, located where a fjord meets the North Sea, might be linked to the gruesome discovery made on a December morning after their annual Julebord (holiday party)? Much more whodunit than a diversified nordic noir novel, Julebord: The Holiday Party is laced with what life is like to work in a small rural hospital, where things and humans occasionally get dirty. Not merely a piece of - at times - a bit upmarket crime fiction, the story brings to the realization that in today’s small global village we are linked to each other in some way - whether we want to be or not and cannot hide from the events that affect us all.
Inspired by Julio Cortázar's Rayuela (Hopscotch) for the experimental aspect allowing the reader to choose their own reading path, D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover for explicitness, and social/political criticism of the current world, Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express for the plot of the mystery element and Alejandro G. Iñárritu's movie Babel for the interconnectedness of the multiple protagonists, Julebord: The Holiday Partytakes place between August 26th, 1960 and December 23rd, 2019 and is the first published stand-alone volume of the Correlations Trilogy.”
