    About this audiobook

    THE PROMISE is an intense, fast-paced and gripping Scandinavian thriller told in four parts.In Herstedvester Prison sits a frustrated and restless Nina with her young protégée, Gabriela. They’re both on the run from an ominous dark past that’s constantly on their heels. When Nina is released on parole, she has difficulty enjoying her newfound freedom. Firstly, because she has to leave the defenseless Gabriela in prison, and secondly, because Nina’s new legal guardian definitely isn’t to her liking ...Steffen Jacobsen’s debut novel The Passenger (Passageren in Danish) came out in 2008, but his big break came in 2013 with Trophy. This was the first in his series of suspense novels about partners Michael Sander and Lene Jensen, the latest of which is Ghostwriter. Jacobsen’s novels have been published throughout Europe, the USA, Japan, China and Taiwan, with foreign reviewers comparing him to John le Carré, Frederick Forsyth, Jo Nesbo and Jussi Alder-Olsen. In addition, film rights to several of his books have also been sold.
