June 2010 ISBN 978-5-389-00955-4 752 pages This tense thriller from the author of A Small Death in Lisbon (2000) mixes mathematics with wartime intrigue to fine effect. British intelligence hires Andrea Aspinall, a mathematical wunderkind, to make use of her extraordinary gift in hunting atomic secrets. But Andrea disappears in Lisbon, where she adopts a new identity and meets Karl Voss, an attach‚ at the German legation, who's plotting against the Nazis. The action shifts to Portugal and cold-war Berlin, where intrigue and counter-intrigue are routine, until a bleak ending brings the reader up short. The narrative spans the years from WWII to glasnost and the collapse of the Berlin Wall, yet for all the inevitable social commentary the novel remains at heart a conventional sociopolitical thriller with strong echoes of le Carr‚, Ambler, Deighton and others not to mention Gravity's Rainbow. As the story lengthens and the calendar pages fall away, suspense inevitably slackens, though for the most part the novel remains supremely readable. Wilson's spare prose style never becomes skeletal, and the characters, while lightly sketched, remain believable. The author portrays Andrea in particular with sympathy and insight, and adumbrates her remarkable ability early on when she describes what might be called the joys of mathematics: "The number six... has three divisors one, two and three which if added together come to... six. Isn't that perfect?" The verdict: an evocative and compelling thriller. 5-city author tour; 75,000 first printing. |

May 2010 ISBN 978-5-389-00941-7 576 pages Det är november och vintern har kommit till Oslo. En liten pojke tittar ut genom fönstret på en snögubbe som någon gjort i trädgården. Varför ser den så otäck ut och varför stirrar den upp på honom i stället för ut mot gatan? Nästa morgon är pojkens mamma borta och runt snögubbens hals sitter en halsduk... Kommissarie Harry Hole på Oslopolisen kopplar ihop kvinnan som anmälts försvunnen med ett anonymt brev han fått från någon som kallar sig Snömannen. Snart upptäcker han att det förekommit fler fall där gifta kvinnor försvunnit spårlöst samma dag som den första snön fallit. Kan polisen ha att göra med en seriemördare och utmanar denne mördare Harry Hole personligen genom sina dåd? |
