He calls himself Ulf--as good a name as any, he thinks--and the only thing he's looking for is a place where he won't be found by Oslo's most notorious drug lord: the Fisherman. He was once the Fisherman's fixer, but after betraying him, Ulf is now the one his former boss needs fixed--which may not be a problem for a man whose criminal reach is boundless. When Ulf gets off the bus in Kasund, on Norway's far northeastern border, he sees a \"flat, monotonous, bleak landscape . . . the perfect hiding place. Hopefully.\" The locals--native Sami and followers of a particularly harsh Swedish version of Christianity--seem to accept Ulf's explanation that he's come to hunt, even if he has no gun and the season has yet to start. And a bereaved, taciturn woman and her curious, talkative young son supply him with food, the use of a cabin deep in the woods, a weapon--and companionship that stirs something in him he thought was long dead. But the agonizing wait for the inevitable moment when the Fisherman's henchmen will show--the midnight sun hanging in the sky like an unblinking, all-revealing eye--forces him to question if redemption is at all possible or if, as he's always believed, \"hope is a real bastard.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41080833802446,"sku":"9780385354202","price":19.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/0883\/2974\/products\/9780385354202_1.jpg?v=1648791897","url":"https:\/\/www.bookxcess.com\/products\/midnight-sun-a-novel-9780385354202","provider":"BookXcess","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
