      The author of the internationally best-selling Harry Hole series now gives us an electrifying stand-alone novel set amid Oslo's hierarchy of corruption, from which one very unusual young man is about to propel himself into a mission of brutal revenge. Sonny Lofthus, in his early thirties, has been in prison for the last dozen years: serving time for crimes he didn't commit. In exchange, he gets an uninterrupted supply of heroin—and the unexpected stream of fellow prisoners seeking out his uncanny abilities to soothe and absolve. His addiction started when his father committed suicide rather than be exposed as a corrupt cop, and now Sonny is the center of a vortex of corruption: prison staff, police, lawyers, a desperate priest—all of them focused on keeping him stoned and jailed, and all of them under the thumb of Oslo's crime overlord, the Twin. When Sonny learns some long-hidden truths about his father he makes a brilliant escape, and begins hunting down the people responsible for the hideous crimes he's paid for. But he's also being hunted, by the Twin, the cops, and the only person who knows the ultimate truth that Sonny is seeking. The question is, what will he do when they've cornered him?

      A veces estar en lo más alto no es suficiente. El ambicioso y cautivador Roger Brown parece haber logrado todo lo que un hombre puede desear: ser el mejor en su trabajo como headhunter para empresas, estar casado con una culta y bella mujer responsable de una galería de arte, vivir en una lujosa y elegante casa. Sin embargo, la codicia y el deseo de riqueza obligan a Roger a correr algunos riesgos, como por ejemplo robar obras de arte. El día que Roger conoce a Clas Greve, todo parece sonreírle. No solo es el director ejecutivo ideal que él estaba buscando para trabajar en una empresa de GPS, sino que además es propietario de un cuadro de Rubens de incalculable valor. Roger empieza inmediatamente a planificar el robo de la ansiada tela, pero pronto descubrirá que cometer el delito solo será uno más de sus problemas.
