Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Excellent ... Wagner's terse style is as crisply delineated as the figures he describes in the blank Finnish landscape. Snow-noir of the highest order" (Financial Times)

"Many authors claim to be influenced by Raymond Chandler but Jan Costin Wagner's work actually shows the master's touch" (Globe and Mail)

"Wagner is excellent at letting us peer into the abyss of grief powering this story and the build of its finale has you flicking anxiously through the pages" (Metro)

"Ethereal...a haunting book" (Maxine Clarke Eurocrime)

"With its neatly drawn Finnish settings this tale is unshowy but very good" (Mail on Sunday)

Reseña del editor:

Every year since the death of his wife, Detective Kimmo Joentaa prepares a glass of milk and a bottle of vodka to arm himself against the isolation of Christmas and the harsh Finnish winter.

But this Christmas Eve, his lonely routine is interrupted: first by the unepxected arrival of a damaged young woman and then by the murder of two men - one of them Joentaa's colleague on the police force.
