À propos de ce contenu audio

Best Debut, The Swedish Academy of Crime Writers' Award 2017

'Thrilling, unnerving, clever and beautiful' Fredrik Backman

The year is 1793, Stockholm. King Gustav of Sweden has been assassinated, years of foreign wars have emptied the treasuries, and the realm is governed by a self-interested elite, leaving its citizens to suffer. On the streets, malcontent and paranoia abound.

A body is found in the city's swamp by a watchman, Mickel Cardell, and the case is handed over to investigator Cecil Winge, who is dying of consumption. Together, Winge and Cardell become embroiled in a brutal world of guttersnipes and thieves, mercenaries and madams, and one death will expose a city rotten with corruption beneath its powdered and painted veneer.

The Wolf and the Watchman depicts the capacity for cruelty in the name of survival or greed - but also the capacity for love, friendship, and the desire for a better world.

    A remarkable debut novel
    A gripping, shocking read
    This gripping historical thriller surely announces the arrival of a fine new European talent. Vivid and absorbing
    The latest Scandi sensation
    Niklas Natt och Dag takes the contemporary Scandinavian crime story and gives it a startlingly gruesome historical twist . . . Natt och Dag spares us nothing, detailing horror after horror in his unflinchingly muscular prose
    Natt och Dag's description of the rattling, lung-shredding tubercular cough is truly hideous - a haunting portrait of physical disintegration that's not easy to forget
    Swedish noir doesn't get much darker
    A superbly detailed historical mystery
    A well-depicted historical murder mystery filled with cruelty as well as warmth and humanity
    A historical thriller that is unparalleled in suspense and literary quality. It's raw, beautiful, heartbreaking and extremely captivating until the very last page. The Wolf and the Watchman deserves a place among the classics of the genre
    An unexpected masterpiece, a wild and unusual mix of genres that in one fell swoop succeeds in renewing the entire crime fiction genre
    Brawny, bloody, intricate, enthralling - and the best historical thriller I've read in twenty years
    This is a thrilling, unnerving, clever and beautiful story. Reading it is like giving a little gift to oneself
    An impressive thriller - well paced, well structured and deeply unsettling . . . political scheming and psychological angst, grand theories on the state of man, a fiendish masterplan and a love story all in one

    Le plus pertinent
    A fantastic thriller with many unexpected development till the end. Typical gloomy swedish thriller atmosphere with lively characters, the feeling of diving into the trouble end of the 18th century. You go back and forth in the year 1793 to understand the behaviour of the roles. Had trouble to quit the reading till the end!

    Diving into end of the 18th century way of life.
