Paperback. The 25-year-old case of a missing girl sees Varg Veum dig deep into the past to find her kidnapper, as the secrets and lies of a tiny community threaten everything Gunnar Staalesens award-winning, international bestselling Varg Veum series continues in this chilling Nordic Noir thriller. ***WINNER of the Petrona Award for Best Scandinavian Crime Novel of the Year*** 'Mature and captivating Herald Scotland One of the finest Nordic novelists in the tradition of Henning Mankell Barry Forshaw, Independent Masterful pacing Publishers Weekly _________________September 1977. Mette Misvaer, a three-year-old girl disappears without trace from the sandpit outside her home. Her tiny, close middle-class community in the tranquil suburb of Nordas is devastated, but their enquiries and the police produce nothing. Curtains twitch, suspicions are raised, but Mette is never found. Almost 25 years later, as the expiry date for the statute of limitations draws near, Mettes 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 Shocking, unsettling and full of extraordinary twists and turns, Where Roses Never Die reaffirms Gunnar Staalesen as one of the worlds foremost thriller writers. _________________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 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 its 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 youre a fan of Varg Veum, this is not to be missed, and if youre new to the series, this is one of the best ones. Youre 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 The 25-year-old case of a missing girl sees Varg Veum dig deep into the past to find her kidnapper, as the secrets and lies Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
