From
the internationally acclaimed author of the Harry Hole novels—a new,
electrifying stand-alone thriller set in Oslo in the 1970s: the story of
an unusually complicated contract killer—the perfectly sympathetic
antihero—that is, as well, an edgy, almost lyrical meditation on death
and love.
This is the story of Olav: an
extremely talented "fixer" whose unexpected capacity for love is as
far-reaching as his talent for murder. He works for Oslo's crime
kingpin, "fixing" anyone who causes him trouble. But it's becoming clear
to Olav that the more you know about your boss's business, the more
your boss might want you fixed yourself, especially if you've fallen in
love with his wife....
