Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Staalesen follows the hard-boiled PI tradition, as shown by the stunning 18th entry in his series." --Publishers Weekly starred review of Where Roses Never Die "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." --Ian Rankin, author, Resurrection Men "Mr. Staalesen's latest--ably translated by Don Bartlett --employs Chandleresque similes with a Nordic twist." --Wall Street Journal Online "[S]tellar . . . Staalesen does a masterful job of exposing the worst of Norwegian society." --Publishers Weekly Online (Starred Review) Read more...
