'Danger is desperately seductive.'
Ex-cop Aud Torvingen is tough, tall and level-headed. Hailing from the icy landscape of Norway she now works as a private investigator in the heat of Atlanta - able to flit easily between the worlds of elegant luxury and Atlanta's sleazy underbelly.
But a chance encounter with a woman one stormy night brings unexpected consequences, and Aud risks losing herself amid a deadly mix of forgery, drugs, and murder.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
If Jack Reacher had a sister, she'd be Aud Torvingen . . . he would love her but he'd be a little scared of her, too -- LEE CHILD Without Aud Torvingen it's difficult to see how there could have been a Lisbeth Salander -- VAL McDERMID The Aud Torvingen novels aren't just noir - they're a journey through the dark heart of noir and out the other side to somewhere hopeful. When the Aud books first came out, it was probably more surprising that the dark journey in question belonged to a queer woman: but even now that the world has begun to catch up with the imagination of Nicola Griffith, these novels are still astonishing. Visceral, unflinching, superbly executed, ultimately optimistic: Aud as in audacious -- FRANCIS SPUFFORD
