From the internationally best-selling author of the Harry Hole novels comes this short, lyrical tale of a man on the run from a crime lords deadly retribution, lost far beyond the Arctic Circle, where the sun remains in the sky for months on end.A wayward hitman, mourning a recent loss, arrives in a tiny town on Norways far northeastern border. He calls himself Ulf and gives a halfhearted excuse for his presence, but the locals, who seem as if out of a folk story from a previous century, ask him few questions and supply him with food, shelter, and a gun. In his previous life, Ulf worked as a fixer for The Fisherman, one of the cruelest drug kings in Oslo, a man whose reach spans the globe. After acting foolishly (but out of mercy and desperation) Ulf has now become the man his boss needs fixed. Can this strange town–and especially a curious, lonely boy with his taciturn mother–offer Ulf a chance at redemption while he awaits the arrival of those who would hunt him down?
