From the author of the bestselling Harry Hole series comes an electrifying tale of vengeance set amid Oslo’s brutal hierarchy of corruption. Featuring an introduction by James Ellroy.
Sonny Lofthus has been in prison for almost half his life: serving time for crimes he didn’t commit. In exchange, he gets an uninterrupted supply of heroin–and a stream of fellow prisoners seeking his Buddha-like absolution.
Years earlier Sonny’s father, a corrupt cop, took his own life rather than face exposure. When Sonny discovers a shocking truth about his father’s suicide, he makes a brilliant escape and begins hunting down the people responsible. But he’s also being hunted–by enemies too numerous to count.
