Description
A sophisticated literary thriller about a Swedish security force agent sent to the U.S. for a special assignment, this debut novel delivers a breathtaking global twist on the darkly riveting narrative tradition of Nordic noir. Ernst Grip's mission is to determine whether a prisoner, known only as N., who has been tortured by the CIA, is a Swedish citizen. The prisoner refuses to talk, and evidence points to a complex web of motivations behind an Islamist-inspired terror attack in Topeka, Kansas. As Grip delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a group of desperate souls with intertwined pasts. Meanwhile, Grip's own life becomes increasingly complicated as he navigates his double identity and a passionate love affair with an art dealer in New York fighting AIDS. This gripping narrative explores themes of loyalty, deception, and survival, set against the backdrop of international intrigue and personal struggle.
