BBC Radio 4 - Angstrom, Series 1, Into the Mad Mind of Madness

Scandinavian yarn starring Matthew Holness as the brooding, maverick detective.

A clue leads the detective to a troll factory where his brooding starts with a vengeance.  Stars Matthew Holness. From 2018.

Matthew Holness stars as Knut Ångström, a brooding, alcoholic, maverick Swedish detective from the tough streets of Oslo.

Scandinavian detective yarn adapted from the bestselling Ångström trilogy by Martin English (writing as Bjorgen Swedenssonsson).

Following the death of his wife, Ångström is posted to the Njalsland peninsula where he becomes embroiled in a labyrinthine murder (or possibly not-murder) case which bears an eerie similarity to the Askeladden killings - a case from his distant past. 

A clue left by the killer now leads Ångström and Mina to the Schmilsson novelty troll factory, where Ångström's brooding threatens to get out of control.

Written by Joel Morris and Jason Hazeley.
