Bøker av Jørn Lier Horst

Trond Einar Frednes ble i politikretser ansett som en av Norges farligste menn. Han startet sin kriminelle løpebane tidlig på 90-tallet samtidig med at Jørn Lier Horst begynte som ung politimann. De to har fulgt hverandre gjennom mange år - på hver sin side av loven. Frednes kontaktet Horst. Han hadde bestemt seg for å fortelle hele sin historie -ærlig og usminket. I boka tas leseren med på innsiden av landets tyngste kriminelle miljøer. Frednes forteller om møter med pakistanske gjenger, grove ran, brutale overfall, trusler, halliker og horer, fester, stoff og ville biljakter med politiet på hjul. Gjennom store deler av livet har han levd av å spre frykt og smerte. I selvransakelsens lys leter han nå etter svar: Hvor gikk det galt? Hvordan ble han en BADBOY? Hvorfor var det så vanskelig å velge kjærligheten da den ønsket å komme ham i møte? Og hva kan andre lære av hans historie? En rystende fortelling fra en rå og brutal virkelighet som langt overgår krimromanenes miljøbeskrivelser.
