What to expect
From the multi-award winning author of The Bridge (BBC) and Marcella (Netflix, ITV) comes a blockbuster new thriller…
A DEAD WOLF
A DRUG DEAL GONE WRONG
A LETHAL FEMALE ASSASSIN
Hannah Wester, a detective in the remote northern Swedish town of Haparanda, finds herself on the precipice of chaos.
When human remains are found in the stomach of a dead wolf, Hannah knows that this summer won’t be like any other. The remains are soon linked to a bloody drug deal that went down just across the border in Finland. But how did the victim end up in the woods outside Haparanda? And where have the drugs and money gone?
Hannah and her colleagues are soon caught up in an increasingly complex investigation. But time is scarce and they aren’t the only ones looking.
When the secretive and deadly Katja shows up, unexpected and brutal events start to pile up. In just a few days, life in the border town is turned upside down. Not least for Hannah, who is finally forced to confront her own past.
Critics Review
‘A violent, action-packed police procedural’ THE TIMES
n‘Scandi-noir at its very bleakest — so cold and haunting that it all but takes your breath away… this is a story that lingers long in the mind.’
DAILY MAIL
‘ In Cry Wolf Rosenfeldt, the creator of The Bridge television series and the Netflix hit Marcella, delivers a dark, engrossing and fast-paced read.’ FINANCIAL TIMES
n‘The new year has barely started and already it seems like I’ve found my top book of 2022 … this is a riveting novel bringing together the wild and rugged sense of isolation found in the best Swedish crime fiction with the moral dilemmas inflamed by human fallibility of a classic noir novel. A superb read and an entertaining opener to a new series.’
CRIME FICTION LOVER
“Rosenfeldt, creator of the TV series The Bridge, debuts with a fast-moving procedural set in Sweden’s remote north… This standalone is ready-made for TV.”
Publishers Weekly, US
“book is dark, clever, and gripping with great characters as well as a tense and spellbinding story line… suspenseful, intense, riveting, and thought-provoking.”
Mystery and Suspense Magazine, US
“The first book in a new series by Hans Rosenfeldt proves that he is the master of creating dark corners woven together by mystery, tragedy and greed… Dark yet engaging; intricate yet simple; and overall, a truly thrilling ride… Cry Wolf was not at all what I expected, and I can’t wait for more.”
