When Bergen PI Varg Veum finds himself at the funeral of a former classmate on a sleet-grey December afternoon, he' s unexpectedly reunited with his old friend Jakob - the once-famous lead singer of 1960s rock band The Harpers - and his estranged wife, Rebecca, Veum' s first love. Their rekindled friendship come to an abrupt end with a horrific murder, and Veum is forced to dig deep into his own adolescence and his darkest memories, to find a motive . . . and a killer. Tense, vivid and deeply unsettling, Fallen Angels is the spellbinding, award-winning thriller that secured Gunnar Staalesen' s reputation as one of the world' s foremost crime writers.

"Staalesen follows the hard-boiled PI tradition, as shown by the stunning 18th entry in his series. " --Publishers Weekly starred review of Where Roses Never Die "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, author, Resurrection Men "Mr. Staalesen' s latest--ably translated by Don Bartlett --employs Chandleresque similes with a Nordic twist. " --Wall Street Journal Online "[S]tellar . . . Staalesen does a masterful job of exposing the worst of Norwegian society. " --Publishers Weekly Online (Starred Review)
