The Son: A novel

The author of the best-selling Harry Hole series now gives us an electrifying stand-alone novel set inside Osloâ€™s maze of especially venal, high-level corruption.
Â
Sonny Lofthus is a strangely charismatic and complacent young man. Sonnyâ€™s been in prison for a dozen years, nearly half his life. The inmates who seek out his uncanny abilities to soothe leave his cell feeling absolved. They donâ€™t know or care that Sonny has a serious heroin habitâ€”or where or how he gets his uninterrupted supply of the drug. Or that heâ€™s serving time for other peoplesâ€™ crimes.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Sonny took the first steps toward addiction when his father took his own life rather than face exposure as a corrupt cop. Now Sonny is the seemingly malleable center of a whole infrastructure of corruption: prison staff, police, lawyers, a desperate priestâ€”all of them focused on keeping him high and in jail. And all of them under the thumb of the Twin, Osloâ€™s crime overlord. As long as Sonny gets his dope, heâ€™s happy to play the criminal and the prisonâ€™s in-house savior.

But when he learns a stunning, long-hidden secret concerning his father, he makes a brilliantly executed escape from prisonâ€”and from the person heâ€™d let himself becomeâ€”and begins hunting down those responsible for the crimes against him . . . The darkly looming question is: Who will get to him firstâ€”the criminals or the cops?
