Description
Mikael Niemi, “Boil the Bear,” is one of the best novels of the year—an exhilarating, plot-driven, authentic Swedish retro-detective story.
Summer of 1852: a remote village in the far north of Sweden. The main characters of this incredible detective tale are Pastor Lestadius and the Sami boy he finds in the forest—Jussi. Their calm life of conversations, walks through the woods, and an interest in botany is suddenly upended by murder. The heroes have to join forces to conduct their own investigation, which turns into a real struggle between Light and Darkness.
A gripping detective intrigue is woven into an equally exciting historical novel, all told with a warm, slightly ironic tone. And it’s interesting that Lars Levi Lestadius is a real historical figure—a man who spent his whole life among the Sami and, in essence, helped bring them to Christianity.
