The Trial & The Two Sisters

It was a time of DEATH and dying. But the people were not afraid to die, they did not live in fear like children scared of the dark. What did matter to them, to all of them, was HOW they died. And where there were any doubts about a death, might there not have been a VERIFIER - not exactly a 'detective', but the closest thing they had... - THE TRIAL A strange encounter, with an old man, leads Frode to his first 'case': in a nearby village, a man has died and his wife says he has been poisoned. But has he been poisoned? If so, how, and by whom? Frode is unsure of himself and unsure of what to do. Despite finding himself so full of doubt, he soon has to face up to his very own trial... THE TWO SISTERS Frode is travelling south, when he encounters the sinister "Two Sisters". He soon finds himself on the trail of a murderer and a thief. But who to suspect? Strangers that passed in the night, or someone closer to home? Frode feels sure he knows what has happened, but how can he prove it? -- Set in SWEDEN, in the Late Iron Age, the FRODE books are classic detective fiction with a hint of the supernatural. These books can be read in any order.
