Bjerke, André
André Bjerke was a prominent figure on the Norwegian culture scene in the 1990s. He was an authority on Norwegian post-war literature and language, a translator, editor, critic and renowned chess player, but most of all he was the author of non-fiction, children’s books, crime fiction, essays and poetry, for which he is best known. His erudition earned him the epithet "Renaissance man".

Jimmie Haswell
Gender: Male
A jolly young criminal lawyer, working in London. He has a minor role in the English writer Herbert Adams’ first crime novel, The Secret of Bogey House, but subsequently solves tricky cases in more than half a dozen whodunits, and is then more active as a detective than as a lawyer. In his free time, Haswell plays golf and quietly flirts with young ladies until he finally marries one of them.
