1998. Varg Veum sits by the hospital bedside of his long-term girlfriend Karin, whose life-threatening injuries provide a deeply painful reminder of the mistakes he’s made. Investigating the seemingly innocent disappearance of a wind-farm inspector, Varg Veum is thrust into one of the most challenging cases of his career, riddled with conflicts, environmental terrorism, religious fanaticism, unsolved mysteries and dubious business ethics. Then the first body appears – tied to a cross, facing the mouth of the fjord – In a chilling, timeless story of love, revenge and desire – deftly interwoven with contemporary issues, in a stunning plot that will leave you gripped to the final page – We Shall Inherit the Wind shows Staalesen at his most thrilling, thought-provoking best.

Lead Review

An excellent addition to the stack of Nordic Noir books I have read. And the author captures the West Coast of Norway and Bergen exceptionally well.
