Out Came the Wolves
A wanted murderer and bank robber flees Sweden to seek refuge in Russia. Two cops are sent out to track him down and smuggle him back across the border to Sweden so he can be arrested. The mission takes them deep into the seedy, dark, underworld of Russia, filled with brutal violence and unspeakable crime.
As the cops close in on the wanted man, they realize they are not alone in their pursuit. Others are also looking for the robber. What dark secrets does he hide?
The cops soon find themselves hunted by an organized crime organization as well as the Russian police and they are forced to fight for their lives to get back to Sweden. The action pushes relentlessly toward its violent ending, which is as unexpected and shocking as it is brutal and bloody.
Out Came the Wolves is the first in a series of three novels. The print edition of the series was first published in Swedish.
Alternate cover edition. ASIN: B019EIC1H8

About the author
Jesper Ersgård
44 books55 followersJesper grew up in a family of filmmakers, and his desire to write stories naturally drew him to screenwriting. Two of his screenplays made it into Hollywood movies starring, among others, Rob Lowe and James Belushi.

In 2016 Jesper started writing audiobooks for Storytel, a new way of telling stories that suited him perfectly. With his brother Joakim, he wrote Black Star, a sci-fi trilogy, followed by the time travel thriller 1986 and the adventure of Sky&Fall, also trilogies.
His most recent book is Elddopet, in collaboration with his brother Patrik Ersgård.

Out Came the Wolves
Easy, fast read. Fairly predictable twists, but it kept me interested and got my heart racing a couple of times.

Raskt tempo och spännande, men oxå orealistisk och överdrivna karaktärer. Hade funkat bättre som en film eller serie i Johan Falk anda.

Hvis det havde været en film, så ville man "i gamle dage" have kaldt det en B-film - eller en splatterfilm. Et dårligt og ret søgt plot og det bærende i bogen er vold og voldelig sex.

Jo det er “bare endnu en” krimi, men jeg kan godt lide måden plottet og personerne fremstilles.
Jeg er også vild med hans skrivestil og det er de ting som får mig over de 3*
