Цикл книг «Варг Веум» — 21 книга

En bok om Varg Veum, en bergensk variant av den hardkokte privatdetektiven: fattig, desillusjonert, men med et hjerte av gull - og en flaske akevit til vern mot ensomheten.

Bukken til havresekken er Gunnar Staalesens første bok med Varg Veum i hovedrollen. En dag blir Veum bedt av en mann om å skygge hans kone. Men Veum har prinsipper, og et av dem er å ikke ta skilsmisseoppdrag. Derfor sier han nei til å jobbe for advokat Moberg.

Noen dager etter skyggeer han allikevel Margrethe Moberg. Men ikke for Moberg. Oppdragsgiver er fruens bror, Ragnar Veide.

Varg Veum tjener penger og tenker mindre over tilfeldighetenes spill. Men en morgen finner han liket av Margrethe Moberg, med en blå stripe rundt halsen og merker etter nålestikk i armen.

Handlingen i boken er bare noen måneder etter at forrige bok, Skriften på veggen, sluttet. Saken Varg Veum blir viklet inn i denne gangen, har mange lag. Et ektepar i 30-årene er sporløst forsvunnet. Et skip er på vei mot norskekysten med ukjent last. En tragisk hendelse i 1957, et dobbelt dødsfall, kaster lange skygger innover hendelsene. Er det noen sammenheng mellom sakene?

Varg Veum takes on the perplexing case of a missing wind-farm inspector and gets more than he bargained for, as religious zealots, environmental terrorism and then murder take centre stage … The gripping next instalment in the award-winning Varg Veum series, by one of the fathers of Nordic Noir. 'Not many books hook you in the first chapter – this one did, and never let go!' Mari Hannah 'Mature and captivating' Rosemary Goring, Herald Scotland 'Moving, uncompromising' Publishers Weekly _________________ 1998. Varg Veum sits by the hospital bedside of his long-term girlfriend Karin, whose life-threatening injuries provide a deeply painful reminder of the mistakes he's made. Investigating the seemingly innocent disappearance of a wind-farm inspector, Varg Veum is thrust into one of the most challenging cases of his career, riddled with conflicts, environmental terrorism, religious fanaticism, unsolved mysteries and dubious business ethics. Then, in one of the most heart-stopping scenes in crime fiction, the first body appears… A chilling, timeless story of love, revenge and desire, We Shall Inherit the Wind deftly weaves contemporary issues with a stunning plot that will leave you gripped to the final page. This is Staalesen at his most thrilling, thought-provoking best. _________________ 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 '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 '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 Magazine 'An upmarket Philip Marlowe' Maxim Jakubowski, The Bookseller 'Razor-edged Scandinavian crime fiction at its finest' Quentin Bates
