Jernvognen
Aschehoug published this book in 1909. This version is in the nels format, primarily in Norwegian with side-column translation. The setting is an island off the southern coast of Norway where vacationers are enjoying the hospitality of a resort hotel. Following the suspicious death on the island's moors of Forestry Agent Blinde, recently engaged to the beautiful Hilde Gjærnes, master detective detective Asbjørn Krag is summoned to investigate. Krag must disentagle jealousies, deceptions, and past crimes to solve this mystery. And to complicate his investigation, Hilde Gjærnes' grandfather is killed at night on the same moor, while Asbjørn Krag is only a short distance away. And then there is the mysterious jernvognen, an iron wagon that haunts the moors and the island. Curiously, the sounds of the wagon are heard the nights when Blinde and old Gjærnes are found dead. But, the wagon leaves no tracks in the ground and is never seen. Just what is this iron chariot?
The Iron Wagon
An evocative murder mystery set in the Norwegian countryside, this story, like all good murder mysteries, is a stew of passion, buried past crimes, revelations, and sharply defined characters who remain ambiguous to the very end. Norwegian author Stein Riverton's 1908 novel The Iron Wagon has never been translated into English. Now, using a striking two-color drawing style and re-casting the story with his iconic animal characters from his previous graphic novel Sshhhh!, the acclaimed cartoonist Jason has adapted The Iron Wagon into an original graphic novel that will appeal not only to fans of his work but also to mystery fans who will finally have a chance to experience Riverton's clever story.
