    <![CDATA[Barricaded into a large, gloomy flat in Stockholm, 1979, a battered and frightened young man - Klas Östergren - writes the story of how he came to this sorry state. But is he a reliable narrator?<br/><br/>In this expansive and exuberant novel, he tells the story of his friends (and flatmates), the two Morgan brothers: Henry - a charismatic charmer, a man who loves to play at life but is mysteriously bound to the beautiful Maud; and Leo - a child genius who became a revolutionary poet, drinking and smoking his way to disillusionment. Despite their hedonistic lifestyle, they've stumbled on a dark secret that goes right to the heart of the country, a story that has sinister links with their own pasts. But now both of them have vanished, and Klas is frightened for his life.<br/><br/>When Klas Östergren, aged 25, made his debut in Sweden with this powerful and original work, it was instantly recognised as a masterpiece. Playing with truth and lies, fact and fiction - and everything in-between - this blackly humorous spy novel, love story and boys' own adventure is sure to charm and delight a new audience in its English incarnation.]]>

    <![CDATA[Barricaded into a large, gloomy flat in Stockholm, 1979, a battered and frightened young man - Klas Östergren - writes the story of how he came to this sorry state. But is he a reliable narrator?<br/><br/>In this expansive and exuberant novel, he tells the story of his friends (and flatmates), the two Morgan brothers: Henry - a charismatic charmer, a man who loves to play at life but is mysteriously bound to the beautiful Maud; and Leo - a child genius who became a revolutionary poet, drinking and smoking his way to disillusionment. Despite their hedonistic lifestyle, they've stumbled on a dark secret that goes right to the heart of the country, a story that has sinister links with their own pasts. But now both of them have vanished, and Klas is frightened for his life.<br/><br/>When Klas Östergren, aged 25, made his debut in Sweden with this powerful and original work, it was instantly recognised as a masterpiece. Playing with truth and lies, fact and fiction - and everything in-between - this blackly humorous spy novel, love story and boys' own adventure is sure to charm and delight a new audience in its English incarnation.]]>
