Midnight Sun: A novel

Midnight Sun: A novel

The internationally acclaimed author of Blood on Snow and the Harry Hole novels now gives us the tightly wound tale of a man running from retribution, a renegade hitman who goes to ground far above the Arctic circle, where the never-setting sun might slowly drive a man insane.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
He calls himself Ulfâ€”as good a name as any, he thinksâ€”and the only thing heâ€™s looking for is a place where he wonâ€™t be found by Osloâ€™s most notorious drug lord: the Fisherman. He was once the Fishermanâ€™s fixer, but after betraying him, Ulf is now the one his former boss needs fixedâ€”which may not be a problem for a man whose criminal reach is boundless. When Ulf gets off the bus in KÃ¥sund, on Norwayâ€™s far northeastern border, he sees a â€œflat, monotonous, bleak landscape . . . the perfect hiding place. Hopefully.â€
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
The localsâ€”native Sami and followers of a particularly harsh Swedish version of Christianityâ€”seem to accept Ulfâ€™s explanation that heâ€™s come to hunt, even if he has no gun and the season has yet to start. And a bereaved, taciturn woman and her curious, talkative young son supply him with food, the use of a cabin deep in the woods, a weaponâ€”and companionship that stirs something in him he thought was long dead.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
But the agonizing wait for the inevitable moment when the Fishermanâ€™s henchmen will showâ€”the midnight sun hanging in the sky like an unblinking, all-revealing eyeâ€”forces him to question if redemption is at all possible or if, as heâ€™s always believed, â€œhope is a real bastard.â€
