Félix and Victor are from two different worlds.

They couldn’t be more unalike. Félix grew up without parents in one of Stockholm’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods; Victor inherited a company from his father and lives in one of Stockholm’s most attractive areas. Now they’re both in big trouble. Félix is about to be evicted, and his brother is pressuring him to commit crimes. Victor is about to lose both his wife and his business, and the pills he takes to numb the pain cloud his mind. He needs help. He needs someone like Félix.

The problem is, Victor just fired Félix.

A Brother and a Friend is a tale of male friendship. Warm, funny, and intriguing, it shows a new side of Jens Lapidus’ versatile authorship.
