Krátky popis
'A remarkable debut novel' Sunday Times'The best historical
thriller I've read in twenty years' A.J. Finn'A thrilling,
unnerving, clever and beautiful story. Reading it is like giving a
little gift to oneself' Fredrik BackmanThe year is 1793,
Stockholm.King Gustav of Sweden has been assassinated, years of
foreign wars have emptied the treasuries, and the realm is governed
by a self-interested elite, leaving its citizens to suffer. On the
streets, malcontent and paranoia abound. A body is found in the
city's swamp by a watchman, Mickel Cardell, and the case is handed
over to investigator Cecil Winge, who is dying of
consumption.Together, Winge and Cardell become embroiled in a
brutal world of guttersnipes and thieves, mercenaries and madams,
and one death will expose a city rotten with corruption beneath its
powdered and painted veneer. The Wolf and the Watchman depicts the
capacity for cruelty in the name of survival or greed - but also
the capacity for love, friendship, and the desire for a better
world. The second book in the trilogy, 1794: The City Between the
Bridges, is available in January 2022
