Swing - Lin Enger - Bog

- A Gun Pedersen Novel

Bag om Swing

Gunsten Søren Pedersen knew about baseball and death. A tragedy took the former slugger out of the major leagues, and the only diamonds he sees now are the stars shining in the cold night of Minnesota's North Woods. That is, until Miles Gates-an old friend in big trouble-calls him down to the Sunshine State. What Gun finds there is a trail of brutal killings, some aging ballplayers, shady characters, and the beautiful sister of a reporter who died for his story. Gun discovers the truth behind the murder spree, and he strikes at it as hard as he ever hit a fastball in his prime. But in the warmth of the Florida sun, old dreams and old hatreds have a way of coming back to life-and when Gun returns north, so does a man who wants him dead. Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Craig Johnson's Longmire, and William Kent Krueger's Cork O'Connor enjoy the Enger brothers' Gun Pedersen. ***PRAISE FOR THE GUN PEDERSEN SERIES*** COMEBACK: "A well-written, fast-reading thriller. . . . It's got everything." -Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine "Comeback is so good, you want to sit down and read it all at once. It's got love and shame and money and the Minnesota woods and lakes, and dark mystery, and a reluctant hero, and it's written with humor and passion." -Garrison Keillor SWING: "Solidly entertaining." -ALA Booklist "In Swing, the plot twists as unpredictably as a hangman's rope. Swing has muscle (and heart, too)." -Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine "[A] sure hit." -R.D. Zimmerman, author of Deadfall in Berlin STRIKE: "Compelling." -Publishers Weekly SACRIFICE: "Sacrifice is the best novel I've read this year. Not just the best mystery, but the best novel, period." -Jeremiah Healy, author of the John Francis Cuddy series "Sharp and engaging!" -Minneapolis Star Tribune THE SINNERS' LEAGUE: "[A] revelation . . ." -Booklist
