A time of relentless, inescapable light, shadowing its prey like an obsession. On the shore of the Barents Sea, at the northernmost tip of Lapland, the small town of Hammerfest stands ready… The future Dubai of the Arctic, home to men like Nils Sormi, a Sami nomad turned oil-industry diver – handsomely paid, dangerously attractive, strutting in the face of death. All well and good, if not for his kinsmen and their migrating reindeer. While the herds swim to summer pasture across the Wolf Strait, a young Sami breeder dies in a tragic accident, and a powerful local dignitary is found dead at the foot of an ancient, sacred rock – the first of a series of bizarre murders. When Sami cop Klemet Nango and his partner Nina Nansen, of the Reindeer Police, are called to investigate, Nina finds herself confronting a private tragedy: the search for the father lost at sea when she was a child. What she uncovers is an implacable code of honour, weaving a dark web of vengeance. Wolf Strait confirms Olivier Truc as a masterful story-teller, transporting the reader to the wild territories of northern Lapland, the setting for his acclaimed début novel, Forty Days Without Shadow. 2012 – Forty Days Without Shadow (Le Dernier Lapon) Hedlund Literary Agency Visiting address: Magdalena Hedlund Johanna Kinch Susanne Widén Box 2262 Tyska Brinken 19 magdalena@hedlundagency.se johanna@hedlundagency.se susanne@hedlundagency.se 103 16 Stockholm Directions Mobile: +46 70-669 05 68 Mobile: +46 70-713 42 07 Mobile: +46 76-644 06 48 Sweden
