In Order of Disappearance tells the story of Nils Dickman, a snowplow driver who lives a happy, comfortable life in the fictional town of Tyos, Norway. In fact, he was just voted “citizen of the year,” so it’s safe to say that things are going pretty well for Nils. But his entire life falls apart when his son, Ingvar, is found dead after he overdoses on heroin. Nils knows there’s something suspicious about the circumstances — he’s certain that his son was not a drug user, and he’s not ready to accept the answers he’s been given. He’s on the verge of committing suicide when his son’s friend, Finn, tells him the truth. Ingvar was mistakenly killed by a gang of drug dealers, and now, Nils has to bring justice to light and hunt down the men who murdered his son.
There is an English-language adaptation of In Order of Disappearance, titled Cold Pursuit — but go ahead and watch the original instead. Watching a story being told in the language it was originally written in is often a better experience.
