This month we have a competition for all fans of Scandi-Noir thrillers and the prize is a bundle of Dicte Crime Reporter (season 2 on DVD) and Valkyrien (season 1 on DVD). 794 minutes of tense Nordic drama to keep you glued to the screen. Settle down and enjoy.

Dicte Crime Reporter

Divorced crime reporter Dicte Svendsen (Iben Hjejle – High Fidelity) has returned with daughter Rose to her hometown of Aarhus, in Denmark’s region of Jutland, to start a new life after trying to escape the past.

In season two Dicte is contacted by her estranged father and a sudden tragic turn of events leads to her and police investigator John Wagner investigating a prostitution ring, diamond smuggling and a hit-and-run that all seem to be somehow linked. Throw in football hooliganism and match fixing to sado-masochism and murder, missing children and a mother’s lost love and you have a deadly mix, Dicte, the brash, quick witted reporter finds herself in the middle of. Not afraid to take risks or put her own life in danger, straying to the wrong side of the law or jeopardising every relationship in her life, Dicte will stop at nothing to uncover the truth.

Dicte Crime Reporter Season Two features five gripping stories told over 10 episodes – Dreams and Diamonds, Passion and Chains, Presence and Absence, Goals and Means, Law and Duty – drawn from the crime novels of bestselling Danish author Elsebeth Egholm (The Free Women’s Club).

The acclaimed series returned for its second series and after its run on More4, and is now available on DVD courtesy of Acorn Media International.

Together they build an illegal clinic in an old bomb shelter deep underground Valkyrien Square, Oslo.
