Description
In the second installment of the best-selling Detective Varg series, Ulf and his team investigate a
notorious philanderer—a wolf of a man whose bad reputation may be all bark and no bite. The Department of Sensitive Crimes, renowned for taking on the most obscure and irrelevant cases, is always
prepared to dive into an investigation, no matter how complex. So when the girlfriend of an infamous author
who insists her bad-boy beau is being blackmailed approaches Ulf Varg, the department's lead detective, Ulf
is determined to help. It's rather difficult to determine what skeletons hide in the hard-living lothario's closet,
though. And while Swedes are notoriously tolerant ... well, there are limits. Even for the Swedish. The case requires Ulf's total concentration, but he finds himself distracted by his ongoing attraction to his
coworker, Anna, whose own fears about her husband's fidelity are causing a strain on her marriage. When Ulf is
also tasked with looking into a group of dealers exporting wolves that seem more canis familiaris than canis lupus,
it will require all of his team's investigative instincts and dogged persistence to put these matters to bed.
