Horst Drama Coming to America

Most of you know by now that I am a big fan of B.V. Lawson’s blog, In Reference to Murder. And one of its regular features I enjoy most is “Media Murder for Monday,” a weekly wrap-up of news about film and TV crime dramas, as well as podcasts and radio/video features relating to the genre. Today’s installment includes this tidbit sure to delight fans of Norwegian cop-turned-author Jørn Lier Horst:

US-based streaming service Sundance Now has acquired the rights to Norwegian TV series Wisting, based on the best-selling crime novels by Jørn Lier Horst. Wisting is a police procedural series about a former New York-based FBI agent (Carrie-Anne Moss) working with Norwegian homicide detective William Wisting (Sven Nordin) to catch a serial killer from the United States. The storyline is based on two of Lier Horst’s books, The Caveman and The Hunting Dogs.
