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.

Almost 25 years later, as the expiration date for the statute of limitations draws near, Mette’s mother approaches PI Varg Veum, in a last, desperate attempt to find out what happened to her daughter. As Veum starts to dig, he uncovers an intricate web of secrets, lies and shocking events that have been methodically concealed. When another brutal incident takes place, a pattern begins to emerge. Chilling, shocking and full of extraordinary twists and turns, "Where Roses Never Die" reaffirms Gunnar Staalesen as one of the world’s foremost crime thriller writers.

'Not many books hook you in the first chapter – this one did, and never let go!' Mari Hannah 'Mature and captivating' Rosemary Goring, Herald Scotland 'Moving, uncompromising' Publishers Weekly _________________ 1998. Varg Veum sits by the hospital bedside of his long-term girlfriend Karin, whose life-threatening injuries provide a deeply painful reminder of the mistakes he's made. Investigating the seemingly innocent disappearance of a wind-farm inspector, Varg Veum is thrust into one of the most challenging cases of his career, riddled with conflicts, environmental terrorism, religious fanaticism, unsolved mysteries and dubious business ethics. Then, in one of the most heart-stopping scenes in crime fiction, the first body appears… A chilling, timeless story of love, revenge and desire, We Shall Inherit the Wind deftly weaves contemporary issues with a stunning plot that will leave you gripped to the final page. This is Staalesen at his most thrilling, thought-provoking best. _________________ 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 them' Doug 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 teeth' Ian Rankin 'Staalesen continually reminds us he is one of the finest of Nordic novelists' Financial Times 'Chilling and perilous results — all told in a pleasingly dry style' Sunday Times 'Staalesen does a masterful job of exposing the worst of Norwegian society in this highly disturbing entry' 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 'Every inch the equal of his Nordic confreres Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbo' Independent 'With an expositional style that is all but invisible, Staalesen masterfully compels us from the first pages … If you're a fan of Varg Veum, this is not to be missed, and if you're new to the series, this is one of the best ones. You're encouraged to jump right in, even if the Norwegian names can be a bit confusing to follow' Crime Fiction Lover 'With short, smart, darkly punchy chapters Wolves at the Door is a provocative and gripping read' LoveReading 'Haunting, dark and totally noir, a great read' New Books Magazine 'An upmarket Philip Marlowe' Maxim Jakubowski, The Bookseller 'Razor-edged Scandinavian crime fiction at its finest' Quentin Bates

Tidlig en morgen blir Varg Veum anholdt av politiet og satt på glattcelle. De har funnet materiale på pc-en hans, elektroniske spor som ser ut til å knytte ham til et omfattende nettverk for bruk og distribusjon av grov barnepornografi.
Hvordan kan dette materialet ha havnet på pc-en hans?
Og hvorfor?
Fra fengselscellen må Veum grave seg dypt ned i det han har foretatt seg de tre siste årene, tre år der han i sorgen over tapet av Karin har gjort sitt beste for å gå til grunne.
Det blir et kappløp mot tiden. Veum står overfor to voldsomme utfordringer: Han må komme seg ut av fengselet. Og han må finne ut av hvem som er ute etter å knekke ham for godt.

On a frosty January day in Bergen, Private Detective Varg Veum is visited by a prostitute. Her friend Margrethe has disappeared and hasn't been seen for days. Before her disappearance, something had unsettled her: she'd turned away a customer and returned to the neighbourhood in terror. Shortly after taking the case, Veum is confronted with a brutal, uneasy reality. He soon finds the first body - and it won't be the last either. His investigation leads him into a dark subculture where corrupted idealism has had deadly consequences.

Частный детектив Варг Веум начинал свою деятельность с работы в службе охраны детства. Судьба свела его тогда с мальчиком Яном, тот оказался свидетелем страшной гибели своего приемного отца, которую суд квалифицировал как насильственную.

«Det satt en død mann på venteværelset mitt.» Slik begynner Ansikt til ansikt .

Det viser seg at Varg Veums tause gjest på egen hånd har begynt å grave i et mystisk dødsfall på Mørekysten 14 år tidligere. Kostet denne nysgjerrigheten ham livet?
Trådene fører tilbake til et radikalt studentkollektiv i Bergen på 1970-tallet, der de begge hadde bodd.

Terningkast 5. «Glitrende Veum.»

A case for Varg Veum...Bergen, Norway. Young teenage girls, some from very cosseted backgrounds, are being drawn into prostitution, partly for kicks, but also to earn money for drugs and trendy clothes. Matters take a turn for the worse when the local magistrate is discovered in a luxury hotel, clad only in women's lingerie - and most assuredly dead. Private detective Varg ('Wolf') Veum is called in by anxious parents soon after to look for their missing daughter, whose body is found dumped beside the road in an isolated spot. Clues point to the Bergen underworld...will Veum escape with his life this time?

Handlingen i boken er bare noen måneder etter at forrige bok, Skriften på veggen, sluttet. Saken Varg Veum blir viklet inn i denne gangen, har mange lag. Et ektepar i 30-årene er sporløst forsvunnet. Et skip er på vei mot norskekysten med ukjent last. En tragisk hendelse i 1957, et dobbelt dødsfall, kaster lange skygger innover hendelsene. Er det noen sammenheng mellom sakene?

Exploring his own dark memories may be the only way to find a killer… When Bergen PI Varg Veum finds himself at the funeral of a former classmate on a sleet-grey December afternoon, he’s unexpectedly reunited with his old friend Jakob – guitarist of the once-famous 1960s rock band The Harpers – and his estranged wife, Rebecca, Veum’s first love. Their rekindled friendship is thrown into jeopardy by the discovery of a horrific murder, and Veum is forced to dig deep into his own adolescence and his darkest memories, to find a motive … and a killer. Tense, vivid and deeply unsettling, Fallen Angels is the spellbinding, award-winning…

Commence alors un marathon dans les rues d'Oslo qui mènera le privé norvégien bien plus loin qu'il ne pouvait le soupçonner... " Un nouveau Varg Veum ne se raconte pas, il se déguste afin d'en conserver toute la saveur et l'inventivité. " Olivier Soumagne, Page des libraires
