Synopsis: ‘Mature and captivating’ ‘Moving, uncompromising’ _________________Reeling from the death of his great love, Karin, Varg Veum’s life has descended into a self-destructive spiral of alcohol, lust, grief and blackouts.When traces of child pornography are found on his computer, he’s accused of being part of a paedophile ring and thrown into a prison cell. There, he struggles to sift through his past to work out who is responsible for planting the material ... and who is seeking the ultimate revenge.When a chance to escape presents itself, Varg finds himself on the run in his hometown of Bergen. With the clock ticking and the police on his tail, Varg takes on his hardest – and most personal – case yet.Dark, emotive and compulsive, is the absorbing, shocking next instalment in the addictive Varg Veum series, by one of the fathers of Nordic Noir._________________'There is a world-weary existential sadness that hangs over his central detective. The prose is stripped back and simple ... deep emotion bubbling under the surface – the real turmoil of the characters’ lives just under the surface for the reader to intuit, rather than have it spelled out for them’ ‘Gunnar Staalesen is one of my very favourite Scandinavian authors. Operating out of Bergen in Norway, his private eye, Varg Veum, is a complex but engaging anti-hero. Varg means “wolf ” in Norwegian, and this is a series with very sharp teeth’ ‘Staalesen continually reminds us he is one of the finest of Nordic novelists’ ‘Chilling and perilous results — all told in a pleasingly dry style’ ‘Staalesen does a masterful job of exposing the worst of Norwegian society in this highly disturbing entry’ 'The Varg Veum series is more concerned with character and motivation than spectacle, and it’s in the quieter scenes that the real drama lies’ 'Every inch the equal of his Nordic confreres Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbo' ‘Not many books hook you in the first chapter – this one did, and never let go!’ ‘With an expositional style that is all but invisible, Staalesen masterfully compels us from the first pages ... If you’re a fan of Varg Veum, this is not to be missed, and if you’re new to the series, this is one of the best ones. You’re encouraged to jump right in, even if the Norwegian names can be a bit confusing to follow’ ‘With short, smart, darkly punchy chapters is a provocative and gripping read’ ‘Haunting, dark and totally noir, a great read’ ‘An upmarket Philip Marlowe’ ‘Razor-edged Scandinavian crime fiction at its finest’On the path to self-destruction after the death of his girlfriend, things take a turn for the worse, when child pornography is found on Varg Veum’s computer and he must battle to prove his innocence ... the chilling new instalment in the award-winning Varg Veum series, by one of the fathers of Nordic Noir.Wolves in the DarkFinancial TimesRosemary Goring,Herald ScotlandPraise for Gunnar StaalesenDoug Johnstone,Ian RankinMari HannahCrime Fiction LoverPublishers WeeklyThe Big Issue.
