Omschrijving

Fresh from rehab, Norwegian PI Varg Veum faces his most complex investigation yet, when a man is found drowned, a young woman disappears, and the case of a missing child is revived. The classic Nordic Noir series continues...

'As searing and gripping as they come' --New York Times

'One of my very favourite Scandinavian authors' --Ian Rankin

'The Norwegian Chandler' --Jo Nesbø
***Now a major TV series starring Trond Espen Seim***

________________________

PI Varg Veum has returned to duty following a stint in rehab, but his new composure and resolution are soon threatened when a challenging assignment arrives on his desk.

A man is found dead in an elite swimming pool and a young woman has gone missing. Most chillingly, Varg Veum is asked to investigate the 'Camilla Case' an eight-year-old cold case involving the disappearance of a little girl, who was never found.

As the threads of these apparently unrelated crimes come together, against the backdrop of a series of shocking environmental crimes, Varg Veum faces the most challenging, traumatic investigation of his career.

'Every inch the equal of his Nordic confreres Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbø' --Independent

'Staalesen continually reminds us he is one of the finest of Nordic novelists' --Financial Times

'There are only two other writers that I know of have achieved the depth of insight in detective writing that Staalesen has: Chandler, and Ross MacDonald ...' --Mystery Tribune

'Employs Chandleresque similes with a Nordic Noir twist ... simply superb' --Wall Street Journal

'Masterful pacing' --Publishers Weekly

'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' --Herald Scotland

'Unsettling, moving, sad, hopeful and hopeless ... it's rich and it's sharp and it's cynical and sentimental all at once' --NB Magazine

'A complex, layered plot in which human tragedy and mystery combine to play out beautifully in a classic Nordic noir with a touch of Christie' --Live & Deadly
