Bag om The Heirs of the Arctic

The Falcks are one of the most powerful families in Norway. And where there is power, there is envy and greed.December 2015. Six months after the revelations in Vera Lind's last will and testament shook the Falck family to its core. Hans Falck, who had most to gain from the matriarch's decrees, lingers in a hospital bed in northern Norway, gravely injured in an accident. Meanwhile, Sasha Falck, who succeeded her father as the head of the family's foundation, is pushing for a research expedition to the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Sea. Yet there are reasons to be cautious - relations with Russia are strained, with Norway's old Cold War adversary reborn under Putin's leadership.The stakes are further raised when reports reach Sasha's ears of a foreign spy in the foundation, sparking a desperate hunt for the mole. And as the expedition nears the spectacular landscapes of the High Arctic, international tensions threaten to spill over into outright conflict - with fateful consequences for the Falck clan.The Heirs of the Arctic, the second novel in Aslak Nore's bestselling Falck Saga trilogy, is an epic adventure novel combining illicit love, dangerous political ideas, geopolitical cat-and-mouse games and bitter power struggles, as the fate of one powerful Norwegian family becomes emblematic of the challenges facing Europe in the new century.Translated from the Norwegian by Sean Kinsella
