The book is based on a dramatic event in Bergen Norway, where a body of a young woman was found on the 29th of November 1970 under suspicious circumstances in the valley Isdalen Valley just outside of Bergen city center. Since then the case has had a large media and public interest and has been published in Norwegian and international media and is known as the Isdal case or the case of the Isdal woman. Both Norwegian intelligence, at that time POT, the Norwegian criminal investigation KRIPOS, the Norwegian defense and embassies, Interpol, Secret Service, CIA and others were involved in the case also a long time afterward. The case has never been clarified or solved in the sense that it has never been possible for the police to identify the woman who was acquainted with at least 9 different identities and passports. The investigation gained an international character with possible trails both to central and southern Europe, the Middle East, the United States and South America. The woman's identity was tested against people like Ulrike Meinhof in Germany and Kathy Wilkinson in the United States. The fact that the woman was never identified and she had hidden her tracks and also used several different identities led to speculation about international crime and espionage. The book is a fictional novel but based on documentary material from the investigation and interviews by police and others who followed the case. Events and people in the book do not reflect real events, but parts of the investigation data are identical or to some extent compressed renderings. The events are incorporated into the dramatic political conditions that occurred during the late sixties - or the well-known East-West conflict - the Cold War. To this date, the case is still alive to many, and it appears at times in the media in Norway and abroad, now last in 2018 the Norwegian NRK and BBC have published a podcast series that has reached millions of listeners in an attempt to find the woman's identity. The author Tore Osland has had special insight into this mystery as his father Harald Osland, led the investigation of the Isdals woman's case.
