The story alternated between 1920s and 1938 in Norway, with the story of Jack Rivers who ran liquor during prohibition days there, spent time in jail, and then ended up working for the policeman who arrested him. The time switches were hard to follow at times, and I lost interest in the spy vs. spy intrigue so it isn't something I would recommend. ( ) Pre-WW II Norway, the book swings back and forth between the dates 1924 and 1938. The two main characters' lives are intertwined, separated for those 14 years and then reconnected. The same secondary characters appear and re-appear as well. This story gives the reader an insight into those two eras in the lives of the people and how the insular focus of the Norwegian population made them oblivious to the emerging turmoil of Nazi Germany. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Oslo, 1938. War is in the air and Europe is in turmoil. Hitler's Germany has occupied Austria and is threatening Czechoslovakia; there's a civil war in Spain and Mussolini reigns in Italy. When a woman turns up at the office of police-turned-private investigator Ludvig Paaske, he and his assistant - his one-time nemesis and former drug-smuggler Jack Rivers - begin a seemingly straightforward investigation into marital infidelity. But all is not what it seems, and when Jack is accused of murder, the trail leads back to the 1920s, to prohibition-era Norway, to the smugglers, sex workers and hoodlums of his criminal past ... and an extraordinary secret.
