Expertly crafted unravelling of mixed loyalties, love, lust, lies and trust, set against the background of a world increasingly on the edge of all-out war --John Harvey, Author of Charlie Resnick series Dahl deftly controls the narrative, wielding irony to create bittersweet noir tension. -- Booklist One of the pioneers of so-called Nordic Noir fiction. --Sunday Times (Best New Historical Fiction for May) This was GREAT - I haven't read about a femme fatale for an absolute age, I know she's a big of a wrong un bit I liked her anyway. --Cath Holland Superb. . . . Dahl highlights social issues in contemporary Norway. . . . The action comes to a climax in an utterly convincing chase through Oslo's sewage system. The translator's stripped-down, muscular prose is a plus. --Publishers Weekly starred review of Faithless
