Wolves in the Dark: The blurb
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.
