Publisher's Synopsis
In the second installment of the bestselling Detective Varg novels, Ulf and his team investigate a notorious philanderer--a wolf of a man whose bad reputation may be all bark and no bite.
The Department of Sensitive Crimes, renowned for taking on the most obscure and insignificant cases, is always prepared to commit to an investigation, no matter how complex. So when the girlfriend of an infamous author decides her bad boy beau is being blackmailed, she approaches the department for help. The department's lead detective Ulf Varg takes the case. How do you blackmail someone whose bad behavior is a carefully cultivated part of his media persona? Even the notoriously tolerant Swedes have their limits.
The case requires all of Ulf's concentration, but he finds himself distracted by his ongoing attraction to his coworker, Anna, whose fears about her husband's fidelity are cauing a strain on her marriage. When Ulf is also tasked with looking into a group of dealers exporting wolves that seem more canis familiaris than canis lupus, it will require all of his team's investigative instincts and dogged persistence to put these matters to bed.
