_________________
One dark January night a car drives at high speed towards PI Varg
Veum, and comes very close to killing him. Veum is certain this is no
accident, following so soon after the deaths of two jailed men who
were convicted for their participation in a case of child pornography
and sexual assault … crimes that Veum himself once stood wrongly
accused of committing.
While the guilty men were apparently killed accidentally, Varg
suspects that there is something more sinister at play … and that
he’s on the death list of someone still at large.
Fearing for his life, Veum begins to investigate the old case,
interviewing the victims of abuse and delving deeper into the brutal
crimes, with shocking results. The wolves are no longer in the dark
… they are at his door.

PRAISE FOR GUNNAR STAALESEN
‘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
‘Almost forty years into the Varg Veum odyssey, Staalesen is at the
height of his storytelling powers’ CRIME FICTION LOVER
‘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_
‘Not many books hook you in the first chapter – this one did, and
never let go!’ MARI HANNAH
‘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
