Official synopsis Publisher
“When Klas Östergren, aged 25, first wrote this powerful and original work, it was instantly recognised throughout Europe as a masterpiece. It tells an extraordinary story featuring the author himself and two friends, the Morgan brothers: Henry, a charismatic charmer, and Leo, a child genius who became a revolutionary poet, drinking and smoking his way to disillusionment. Despite their hedonistic lifestyle, they’ve stumbled on a dark secret that goes right to the heart of their country. But now both of them have vanished, and Klas is frightened for his life … Playing with truth and lies, fact and fiction – and everything in-between – this blackly humorous spy novel, love story and boys’ own adventure delights and entertains in equal measure.”–Cover.
