"A master storyteller."Die Welt (Germany)"Vital and sparkling . though barely a shot is fired, fear, suspense and paranoia are the secret powers that rule each and every page."NRC Handelsblad (Holland)When Klas Östergren, aged 25, first wrote this powerful and original work, it was instantly recognised throughout Europe as a masterpiece. It tells an extraordinary story featuring the author himself and two friends, the Morgan brothers: Henry, a charismatic charmer, and Leo, a child genius who became a revolutionary poet, drinking andsmoking his way to disillusionment. Despite their hedonistic lifestyle, they've stumbled on a dark secret that goes right to the heart of their country. But now both of them have vanished, and Klas is frightened for his life .Playing with truth and lies, fact and fiction - and everything in-between - this blackly humorous spy novel, love story and boys' own adventure delights and entertains in equal measure.
