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 thriller that secured Gunnar Staalesen’s
reputation as one of the world’s foremost crime writers.
