Trygve Yamamura and Conrad Lauring are the two equally important viewpoint characters of Murder Bound. See:
POVs In Murder Bound.
At the end of Chapter xviii, Yamamura (viewpoint character) rings Judith Mendel's number. Near the end of xix, Judy wakes Lauring (viewpoint character) to tell him that Yamamura wants him on the phone. Neat narrative continuity.
In xx, Yamamua (viewpoint character) wants a private discussion with Captain Matthiesen, Lauring, Arne Torvald and Oddvar Finsen. This will be the equivalent of Poirot assembling the cast in the drawing room. The culprit will be revealed. We know that it cannot be Lauring. The noose tightens.

Kaor, Paul!
And what we see in Chapter xx of MURDER BOUND was a technique seen in other writers as well. The example I thought of being Rex Stout's gargantuan detective Nero Wolfe, who would have the suspects/possible suspects in the case he was investigating gather in his office for him to elucidate the solution to the mystery.
