The Man Who Wasn't Dead

Episode 1 of 4

A body goes missing from a crime scene, but was it ever even there in the first place? Stars Matthew Holness and Nadia Kamil.

Matthew Holness stars as Knut 脜ngstr枚m, a brooding, alcoholic, maverick Swedish detective from the tough streets of Oslo.

Scandinavian detective yarn adapted from the bestselling 脜ngstr枚m trilogy by Martin English (writing as Bjorgen Swedenssonsson).

Following the death of his wife, 脜ngstr枚m 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.
