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 them Doug 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 teeth Ian Rankin Staalesen continually reminds us he is one of the finest of Nordic novelists Financial Times Chilling and perilous results all told in a pleasingly dry style Sunday Times Staalesen does a masterful job of exposing the worst of Norwegian society in this highly disturbing entry Publishers Weekly 'The Varg Veum series is more concerned with character and motivation than spectacle, and its in the quieter scenes that the real drama lies Herald Scotland 'Every inch the equal of his Nordic confreres Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbo' Independent Not many books hook you in the first chapter this one did, and never let go! Mari Hannah With 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. Youre encouraged to jump right in, even if the Norwegian names can be a bit confusing to follow Crime Fiction Lover With short, smart, darkly punchy chapters Wolves at the Door is a provocative and gripping read LoveReading Haunting, dark and totally noir, a great read New Books Magazine An upmarket Philip Marlowe Maxim Jakubowski, The Bookseller Razor-edged Scandinavian crime fiction at its finest Quentin Bates Autorid: Gunnar Staalesen, Don Bartlett

"The Maigret of the Dales" Detective-Sergeant Cluff is at home in the bleak, moorland market town of 1960s Gunnarshaw. A gruff and gloomy loner, he has spent a lifetime observing local folk - and knows their lives inside out. They know him, too - a bulky, macintoshed figure who watches from the shadows of Gunnarshaw's ginnels as they go about their daily business, his dog Clive always at his side. But it's not just criminals Cluff has to watch out for. Never satisfied with easy answers to cases, Cluff is a maverick and no flatterer to authority - much to the bemusement of Detective-Constable Barker, but much more so to the despair of the hapless Inspector Mole, who tries at every opportunity to outwit or contain Cluff's singular methods of detection. But beneath Cluff's dour exterior beats the heart of a truly compassionate man who possesses a deep understanding of human nature, in all its sordid and depraved details - details which frequently push Cluff to bend the rules in his pursuit of moral justice. More Deaths For Sergeant Cluff When the police are called to a crime scene at a Gunnarshaw grocer's shop, it looks to be a straightforward case of burglary - but not to Detective-Sergeant Cluff, whose subsequent investigations, following a boy's brutal discovery of a dismembered body on the moors, force him to confront the most gruesome murder he has ever faced. Cluff calls on his intimate knowledge of the folk of Gunnarshaw to push forward his investigation, but when events escalate and lives are under imminent threat, he must abandon his unorthodox methods in favour of immediate action - which even Inspector Mole must admire - but in doing so, and in his haste to bring the case to a close, he puts himself in great personal danger.

Sergeant Cluff Goes Fishing When Detective-Sergeant Cluff, on the lookout as ever, overhears a conversation in Gunnarshaw concerning the Amblers' estate in Egilsby, he grows suspicious. But when Colonel Ambler is found dead at the riverside, Cluff - unorthodox as ever - promptly embarks on a fishing trip to investigate, much to the despair of Inspector Mole. Events begin to spiral: the rector's corpse is discovered in his bathtub; and Sims, a penniless adolescent, who has somehow bought himself a motorbike, has apparently killed himself on it within twenty-four hours. True to form, Cluff has his own opinions about the deadly events unfolding, but, in his pursuit of justice, he gets much more than he bargained for. Autorid: Gil North

Sergeant Cluff Laughs Last Detective-Sergeant Cluff, from the shadows of a ginnel, watches a young woman weeping in Gunnarshaw's busy high street - and wonders why. But when a dead body is discovered in a forest plantation, Cluff calls on his extensive knowledge of Gunnarshaw folk, as well as his instinctive perception of human nature, to uncover a trail of fateful and unrequited love. As the investigation progresses, nothing is as it seems, and as Cluff knows only too well from a lifetime of detective work, when it comes to crimes of passion, there are never any easy answers. Inspector Mole, on the other hand, is certain he has the case all wrapped up - and is determined to prove Cluff wrong. Autorid: Gil North

Jõululaupäev on minu arust üks imelik päev. See on lihtsalt terve päev ootamist. Hiilisime Gunnariga suurde tuppa ja pigistasime kõiki riidekorvi pandud pakke. "Ühed ammused jõulud Smålandis"on meenutus ­1913. aasta jõuludest, kui Astrid Lindgren oli alles väike tüdruk. Soe ja siiras lugu sellest, kuidas kuueaastane Astrid läheb oma isa ja vennaga metsa kuusepuud tooma, milline on tüdruku imestus, kui jõululaupäeva hommikuks on kodu muutunud kauniks ja jõululikuks ning kuidas Astrid teisel jõulupühal terve perega maale vanaema juurde jõulupeole sõidab. Vahvate Cecilia Heikkilä illustratsioonidega raamatus jutustab Astrid Lindgren humoorikalt oma lapsepõlve jõuludest, jõulumeeleolust ja kõigest toredast, mis pühadega kaasneb.
