Description
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.
Chilling, shocking and exceptionally gripping, Wolves in the Dark reaffirms Gunnar Staalesen as one of the world's foremost thriller writers.
Mature and captivating' Rosemary Goring, Herald Scotland
Moving, uncompromising' Publishers Weekly
'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' Doug Johnstone, The Big Issue
An upmarket Philip Marlowe' Maxim Jakubowski, The Bookseller
Norwegian master Staalesen is an author who eschews police procedural narratives for noirish private eye pieces … with some abrasive social commentary' Financial Times
Staalesen is one of my favourite Scandinavian authors and this is a series with very sharp teeth' Ian Rankin
A Norwegian Chandler' Jo Nesboslash;
Razor-edged Scandinavian crime fiction at its finest' Quentin Bates
'Staalesen's storytelling draws you in and leaves you breathless all the way to the end, and like a fine wine, always leaving you wanting more, but you know you blood pressure could not take it' Atticus Finch
