Wolves in the Dark
Wolves in the Dark opens as Private Investigator, Varg Veum wakes to find a patrol car at his front door. Swept up in a wave of confusion and disbelief, he is accused of taking part in a child pornography ring. Having seized Vag's electronics, they take him into custody. In spite of how long those at Police Headquarters have known him, the evidence against Veum is seemingly undeniable, and his protests and attempts at reasoning are nothing new to them. As Varg sits in a basement holding cell he wracks his brain, thinking of past cases, lost love, and mistakes made, trying to decide who could possibly hate him enough to frame him, a man who was once a social worker, for such heinous crimes against children. When Varg spots the opportunity to flee, he acts quickly, knowing that this may be the only chance he has to clear his name and get back the recovery effort that his troubled life has become. Wolves in the Dark offers a character that is both self-aware and deeply flawed. He's a traditional P.I. on a mission to clear his name. Readers will love his determination and hasty decision-making. Varg is the perfect detective for true fans of Nordic Noir.
