Blood out of Stone

About Blood out of Stone

Kripos' police inspector Odd Gripar stumbles upon a grim history and finds out, not only the truth behind three stuffed dead men, but also behind the man with the code name 'Wolfsangel', designer of judgment. This man, seemingly possessed by revenge, has many other human characteristics. These develop in intimate settings out of interaction of social factors, choices and illness. In this intriguing adventure Wolfsangel first looks like an apparent devilish ghoul who 'squeezes blood out of stone', leading Norway to a man who should never have been born, whose species used to be a recognized disease in Norway. The confessions of three stuffed dead in a bunker make clear how much his kind, the Lebensborn children, suffered. Lebensborn was a race improvement experiment by SS leader Heinrich Himmler. About 12000 children were born in Norway during WWII to a Norwegian mother and a German father, the most famous being ABBA singer Frida. After the war, many these children were declared mentally defective and hereditary weak by the Norwegian authorities. They ended up in institutions, were mistreated or worse. Wolfsangel ruthlessly grows to his Norwegian plan. In 2007, after the European court in Strasbourg considered the Lebensborn case as inadmissible, he forces his way to recognition and justice, learning the hard way how truth can be disturbing, but that also love can break stones.
