«Bobbie Peers har skapt et underholdende og fascinerende univers i en spenningsserie for barn som holder 110 km/t. ... den morsomste miksen av robotkomedie, science fiction og actioneventyr jeg har lest på år og dag.» Kristine Isaksen, VG (terningkast 5) William Wenton oppdager at han ikke er som alle andre. Riktignok har han alltid lurt på hvorfor familien hans har dekknavn. Og hvorfor han er ualminnelig god til å knekke koder. Og hvorfor bestefaren forsvant sporløst i Londons undergrunn for åtte år siden. Men det er først når han løser Umuligheten, verdens vanskeligste kode, og blir sendt til Senter for Posthuman Forskning, at livet hans tar en ny og uventet retning. Sakte men sikkert begynner han å avdekke familiens hemmeligheter. Og plutselig haster det med å finne bestefaren som forsvant på mystisk vis i Londons undergrunn for åtte år siden. «Han skriver så filmatisk, så handlingsdrevet, så konkret og billedlig, at du nesten ser for seg filmen i hodet mens du leser boken. Så har også Hollywood-regissør Morten Tyldum for lengst kjøpt rettighetene til Luridiumstyven». Tyldum kan like godt oppgradere avtalen til flere filmer med en gang, for også tredje bok i serien, Orbulatoragenten, er som skapt for det store lerretet.» Randi Fuglehaug, Bok 365

William Wisting er tilbake, i høstens mest spennende krimbok fra Jørn Lier Horst. Etter dager og uker med uvanlig mye regn gir jordmassene i et boligområde i Larvik etter. I alt ti hus blir tatt av skredet. Wisting havner midt i redningsarbeidet. Gjennom natten blir alle beboere gjort rede for, og det blir klart at ulykken ikke har krevd menneskeliv. Neste dag blir det likevel funnet en død mann i rasmassene. Nærmere undersøkelser viser at han døde minst 48 timer før raset gikk. Etterforskningen griper inn i flere andre pågående politioperasjoner, og Wisting blir satt til å lede en felles etterforskningsgruppe. Men snart blir det klart at det sitter minst én forræder rundt etterforskerbordet. De prisvinnende bøkene om politietterforsker William Wisting er blant Norges mest populære krimserier gjennom tidene, og de er nå trykket i over 2,5 millioner eksemplarer. I tillegg er bokserien utgitt på over 30 språk, og det er også laget TV-serie basert på den.
