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 hes 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 themDoug 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 teethIan Rankin

Staalesen continually reminds us he is one of the finest of Nordic novelistsFinancial Times

Chilling and perilous results — all told in a pleasingly dry styleSunday Times

Staalesen does a masterful job of exposing the worst of Norwegian society in this highly disturbing entryPublishers Weekly

The Varg Veum series is more concerned with character and motivation than spectacle, and its in the quieter scenes that the real drama liesHerald Scotland

Every inch the equal of his Nordic confreres Henning Mankell and Jo NesboIndependentWith an expositional style that is all but invisible, Staalesen masterfully compels us from the first pages … If youre a fan of Varg Veum, this is not to be missed, and if youre new to the series, this is one of the best ones.
