On the opposite side of the planet, Antonia is trying to escape her past. When she suddenly finds herself all alone she realizes it’s time to return to the Stockholm suburb where she grew up. A whole other battle awaits there, and Antonia needs to create a new life for herself while drugs are still controlling her every thought.

The War is the second installment in The Clan trilogy and a stirring portrayal of gang criminality’s reckless violence and effect on our society, a violence designed to uphold a power balance that is constantly challenged by the ongoing gang wars.
Reviews
-
“I’ll always have a weak spot for Pascal Engman’s books and no one is happier that he is back with a new one just in time for summer. /…/ A dark and intense story about people who try to break free from their old lives, but where both society and surroundings refuse to let go.”
-
“Pascal Engman has a drive in his writing and constantly keeps the suspense high. He portrays a terrifying world, where everyone is hit by personal losses in different ways. No one can escape the violence.”
-
“The portrayals of characters and environments remain the series great strength, with characters torn between loyalty, survival, and moral decay. The prose is brief and driven, which creates high tempo through the novel’s many twists. The War is a burning portrayal of society (…). A thriller with depth that’s grounded in reality.”
