Jonas T. Bengtsson is finally back to immerse the reader in the grungy yet poetic world of Copenhagen’s lost souls. His highly anticipated fourth novel tells the story of the nineteen-year-old girl Sus. Though almost an adult in years, Sus could still be mistaken for a child, in fact routinely is. It is as if time stopped, just for her and her family. For her brother in the hospital, grenade shrapnel digging into his brain. For their father, in prison for killing their mother. But time is about to start again, and Sus has been preparing for it for a long time. When the prison gates open, she will be ready.
Sus is a story of revenge: its all-encompassing passion, purity of purpose, and untamed beauty. Award-winning Jonas T. Bengtsson’s new novel celebrates humanity at its very darkest.

There aren’t many writers on the planet capable of combining the grit of crime noir with the thrills of following a police investigation that is also anchored in the cultural and historical settings of the territory in which it is grounded. Wolf Hour will surprise and unsettle readers as Jo Nesbø once again regales us with his literary prowess.
– Bookreporter
[Wolf Hour is] a fair-play mystery, with breadcrumbs scattered strategically along the way /…/ The violence and macabre elements that are Nesbø’s trademarks emerge gradually and organically, building to a chilling conclusion.
– AirMail
It’s very powerful, both on the surface and between the lines, a very beautiful portrayal.
– TV4 Nyhetsmorgon
Just like in a truly gripping, suspense-driven novel, you are drawn into the story and read on to find out what happens.
– Västerbottens-Kuriren
Wolf Hour is a fast-paced, psychologically rich thriller that rewards close attention and has a genuine mind bender of an ending.
– Apple Books Review
Nowhere Land/Women in Revolt is the first part of a trilogy. It is about being so young that life is a horizon of possibilities and resistance, about what it takes to become an artist, and what stories one tells when nothing has yet happened.
