When traces of child pornography are found on his computer, hes 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.

Praise for Gunnar Staalesen

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 themDoug Johnstone, The Big Issue

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 teethIan Rankin

Staalesen continually reminds us he is one of the finest of Nordic novelistsFinancial Times

Chilling and perilous results — all told in a pleasingly dry styleSunday Times

Staalesen does a masterful job of exposing the worst of Norwegian society in this highly disturbing entryPublishers Weekly

The Varg Veum series is more concerned with character and motivation than spectacle, and its in the quieter scenes that the real drama liesHerald Scotland

Every inch the equal of his Nordic confreres Henning Mankell and Jo NesboIndependent

Not many books hook you in the first chapter – this one did, and never let go!Mari Hannah

With an expositional style that is all but invisible, Staalesen masterfully compels us from the first pages … If youre a fan of Varg Veum, this is not to be missed, and if youre new to the series, this is one of the best ones. Youre encouraged to jump right in, even if the Norwegian names can be a bit confusing to followCrime Fiction Lover
