Into the Ice

BBC Radio 4 - Annika Stranded, Series 2, Into the Ice

A body is found frozen in a strangely familiar pose on the Oslofjord.

4 Extra Debut. A body is found frozen on the Oslofjord. Can detective Annika Strandhed place where she has seen the person it belonged to? Read by Nicola Walker. From July 2014.

Annika Strandhed is a leading light in the murder squad of the Oslo police. Her neuroses - and she has a few - are mostly hidden by a boisterous manner and a love of speedboats. As fictional Scandinavian detectives go, she's not as astute as Sarah Lund or Saga Norén, perhaps, but probably better company.

In this second series of stories by Nick Walker - commissioned specially for Radio 4 - Annika is learning to juggle the demands of policing the Oslofjord with a new challenge. Namely, single motherhood.

Episode 1 (of 3): Into The Ice
A body is found in the ice on the Oslofjord. Annika can't place where she's seen it before - but the man is frozen in an oddly familiar pose.

Nick Walker is the author of two critically-acclaimed novels, Blackbox and Helloland. His plays and short stories are often featured on BBC Radio 4, including Arnold In A Purple Haze (2009), the First King of Mars stories (2007 - 2010), the Afternoon Drama Life Coach (2010) and the stories Dig Yourself (2011) and The Indivisible (2012). The first series of Annika Stranded was broadcast in 2013.
