Detective Varg, book 2

In the second installment of the best-selling Detective Varg series, Ulf and his team investigate a notorious philanderera 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 irrelevant cases, is always prepared to dive into an investigation, no matter how complex. So when the girlfriend of an infamous author who insists her bad-boy beau is being blackmailed approaches Ulf Varg, the departments lead detective, Ulf is determined to help. Its rather difficult to determine what skeletons hide in the hard-living lotharios closet, though. And while Swedes are notoriously tolerant well, there are limits. Even for the Swedish. The case requires Ulfs total concentration, but he finds himself distracted by his ongoing attraction to his coworker, Anna, whose own fears about her husbands fidelity are causing 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 teams investigative instincts and dogged persistence to put these matters to bed
